[quote=Anonymous]Depending on the club, if you are looking for kid to improve and teach the importance of getting better = moving up, go with club B.

We did this.  From top team at a losing club to mid-tier at a highly rated but large club.  My kid moved up.  She was unafraid of starting low and rising.  I gotta hand it to her - I really respect her for this attitude.

Way too many people just want to be on a top team - even if that team is a loser team - because they like to think of their kid as awesome.  The truth is, it's better to join a top organization and rise than it is to be with an organization that is irrelevant at the top.  Even if you never make it to the top of a top organization, you'll prob be still pretty damn good because in a large club, providing that they are respectable, has certain standards.

In any case, it's a good lesson for kids.  I agree with coaching better at top levels but at some point it's not about the coach - it's about the kid developing themselves.  That's a lesson that is more valuable than winning or losing a game.[/quote]
