[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not looking good for 2nd team kids to move up at u12.  Rumor is, our top team took 3 outsiders over 2nd team players.   Will follow up.  But it’s messed up to take outsiders over 2nd team players.  [/quote]

With all the ECNL vs MLSnext movement and a couple clubs that had a lot of drama over the past year, there were some talented kids looking around, so I wouldn’t be surprised if multiple clubs found themselves pulling top team talent from outside.

But I don’t think it is necessarily messed up if that is the result - sometimes you just have competitive talent and coaches have to make hard decisions.

At our club, I thought our coaches did a great job of bringing multiple 2nd team players to 1st team games as guest players to see how they did with the faster pace and different schemes.  The external players practiced a lot with the first and second teams before tryouts (with one exception) including 1st vs 2nd team scrimmages, so they got a good look of everyone against each other.  It’s heartbreaking every time a sweet kid doesn’t get their top choice, but we saw real effort by our coaches to do it the right way.
