[quote=Anonymous]I would stay on the top team and move later.

At U-13 things move more competitive as you move to the official ECNL/MLS and that (or U-12) would be a good time to try out elsewhere as you will get good looks being from a top team...if you are trying out from a B team there is already a notch against you. Not trying to be pessimistic, just realistic. Coaches are looking to replace current players with better players. You get a one hour try out to prove yourself. Its a lot easier if you also have the A team verification to support the coach's opinion of that tryout.

In my experience, it's very hard to move up from the B team to the A team once things are set. Clubs look to outside players from other A teams before your B player unless you are the tippy tippy top of the B team. Try to use the next year to impress coaches from opposing teams and try to get invitation to practice with the A team from other clubs.

My player has been on the A team for 5 years. During that time 8 kids have moved 'down' and only 2 have moved up from the B team. Replacements were sourced from outside the club. It's very very hard. [/quote]
