[quote=Anonymous]I don't necessarily disagree, but that is what most clubs can/should be using second teams for...develop kids for the top teams.

If you are on a top team in a top club and there are two kids who aren't keeping up do you wait for them to hopefully develop more over time or do you bring in a kid who is better from tryouts or supplementals? Should the other kids on the team suffer because player X can't play at that level, but is a nice kid with a nice family who has been with the club for years? I know that's crappy and shouldn't be like that, but there are always other teams and clubs if it is too competitive. If we are talking U11 that is a tougher call because player X is still developing and who the hell knows, but at u15 and above it's a no brainer for most. Once again, the bubble kid can always work/develop and get back up to the top team. Actually, it's probably better for their development to get put on the second team as they will get way more minutes than being a bubble player on the top team. [/quote]
