[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it’s a bait and switch, but then you need to think about development. If the coach doesn’t think your kid can cut it, why keep them there? There is no guarantee of playing time, so is your child better off keeping the label of the “top team” and riding the bench, or are they better playing with a lower team, likely as a starter but certainly with more time, where they can develop their skills? I’d prefer the latter. No kid enjoys riding the bench. [/quote] OP here. Totally agree with this, but the coaches on the lower teams are not as good and playing with better players is important to improvement as well. It's not like the higher level teams have kids that are all-stars, for pete's sake! They lose every game as well. And if they weren't trying to bait and switch, wouldn't the better approach be starting them on the lower team and moving them up mid-year vs. moving them down? It just seems disingenuous. [/quote]
