[quote=Anonymous]I should add that while paying a coach on the side does get players minutes at the younger ages. 80%-90% of the players of the parents doing this end up quitting by u14. So in the end it doesn't really matter. The players that get screwed are the ones whos parents aren't paying the coach on the side and quit because they don't think they're good enough. My oldest has played on the top team since she was 3. I was guilty of chasing the stupidness that clubs lay out. My youngest just started playing competitive (u7) and I deliberately asked that she be on the 2nd team. Also this time we went with a smaller club. It's been way more fun and the coaching is exactly the same. It's interesting watching some of the new parents go down the same path I did 10 years ago. Unfortunately nothing I say will change their minds on what they want to do.[/quote]
