[quote=Anonymous]Agree with others that it’s a good thing the club is recognizing this early, if they are being sincere about the reason for the demotion. An anecdote: when my DS started travel soccer at 8, the coach of an opposing team took us aside after a game and said our son stood out for his speed, coordination, aggression, and knack for goal-scoring. But he warned us that we weren’t at a club known for developing kids’ technical abilities, and that our son would likely end up squandering his potential if we didn’t address the technical piece. He told us he’d be happy to train DS, and/or have him practice with the coach’s team for the rest of the year for free while remaining on his current team. We took him up on both, and it all has worked out very well many years later. We were clueless about soccer and are grateful for the intervention of that incredible coach.[/quote]
