[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents: We want teams to focus on developing players not just winning.

Also Parents: We should cut 3 players because they hold onto the ball too long and have low soccer IQ.

Parents, you are the problem.[/quote]

Apples to Oranges. Kids don't grow as players when others on the team can't or won't play to the level of the rest of the team. We are past kick and run after the ball/drive into a sea of players and how for the best age; so yes, cut the kids still doing this while everyone else has learned when to drive and when to pass while holding possession. Low soccer IQ players have no business being on a top team. [/quote]

There are levels to this and many around here are misguided about true elite and top teams

How did the low IQ kid get on an alleged top team anyway?[/quote]

Most start there at u9 and just don't progress with the team appropriately so they ride the bench for years while parents complain about politics and bad coaches with no effort to address the problems leaving to their player sitting more than playing. No one knows who's going to be a National team player at 8 or 9. I'm sorry you just don't. If your kid is aggressive and bigger than the other kids or has the tiniest amount of footskills at that age they get put on a first or second team. Should half of those kids stay on those teams 4 years later? No. Will most of them anyways? Yes. [/quote]

Great response. This matches what I've seen around here.[/quote]
