[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be very interesting to know how many of the commenters on this thread have older players (ninth grade and above) who have been playing soccer for many years ..... [/quote]

Easy....the ones who aren't scared, but jaded.  The more jaded, the older the kid.  The scared ones have young kids.  Most of those are too afraid to post on these topics because they are afraid of giving themselves away and retribution.[/quote]

I'm one of the PPs with an older kid. I guess I'm jaded and not scared.  I'm not afraid to rock the boat, I don't think there is much point and it is a pain to start again.  It isn't about being an adult, but at some point, you can't keep fighting the same battle at multiple clubs. The disposition of club managment is not inclined to consider parental feedback, even if the feedback is reasonable. But after you've changed clubs one, or maybe even twice, you realize there's nothing better out there and deal with what is.

I appreciate the PP with the star who stood up for the non-star players.  I've often felt that if I were a better person, I'd stand up for that kid who never gets to play.  But I don't, because I don't want that kid to be my kid and there really isn't any point to starting over again at a new club where the same thing will probably happy.[/quote]
