[quote=Anonymous]my sons team did the same - not a strong team and then they pushed them up in the spring of u12 year. It got even worse the following year when we had been in a mid-level NCSL division in u12 fall and doing okay, then with the team consolidation (4 teams =&gt; 3 teams for 11v11), we got to a top NCSL division. I asked the coach why this happened and he said he didn't know and didn't care. I asked the admin & TD and they said they pre-coordinated it with the coach. My takeaway was that the coach just didn't care and so we spent the next 1.5 years getting back into the 'right' NCSL division. A lot of families left because it wasn't fun when the kids knew they were going to lose every game, and we couldn't even get into the right divisions for tournaments because we were playing in too high an NCSL division. The coach (& some parents) might envision some long-term benefits, but the kids are at the age where they start to get a vote, and a lot of them stopped playing soccer because of that coach & situation. Coach wasn't a bad person, he just didn't care enough to spend the time to get us in the right division.[/quote]
