You're looking at this wrong.  They [i]are looking for players to add in the fall time[/i], not to to replace current players as much as they are looking to weaken the opposition, bring another paying customer into the fold, and to avoid drama by not needing to promote kids from the 2nd team to the 1st team.

I'm guessing there is a lot of sarcasm in this post! :)

For sure they are trying to add players right now, and I have no doubt that bringing in more paying customers is the priority! I'm also sure that if a guy shows up at these ID sessions, is good enough to join the 1st team, and is able to join the team immediately, they would add him and drop an existing kid from there to the second team. It's going to be absolutely hilarious when all the parents of kids on the second team see that some random kid from some other club has been added to the top team, when I'm sure they were told back in the spring that there is a "pathway" to the top team.

Not sarcasm, we've been on a 2nd team at different clubs and we have seen this exact thing happen twice.  "Look that average player, from another club is practicing with our top team. Look that average player is practicing with the top team again.  We don't even get invites to practice with our top team.   Look that average player is on their team. Look that average player is now practicing with a better coach and with better players.  Look that average player is getting significantly better.  Look, now it's time for tryouts and that average player has chemistry and is a lot better than they were last fall and has a slot locked up.  Looks like the pathway to the 1st team is to leave the club!"  [/quote]

100% This happens at EVERY club.  I will say that that average player isn't always getting significantly better though.  Most of the time, the club is looking to grow revenue and the only thing that will lure some players from other clubs is top-team placement.  [/quote]
