[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my son is on a B team at one of the Black Ops clubs, does he have shot at making the team? He should have made the A team last summer but in a crazy year was placed on B team after tryouts, He's hoping to move after this year but Black ops sounds like a good option to develop as a player if they have good coaching![/quote]

Often when a talented player who belongs on an A team is not picked, there is a reason.   The reason could be hustle, coachability, commitment, relationships with teammates, sportsmanship, and believe it or not, how much respect  the players’s parents show toward the coaches and the team.   So if your son was not put on an A team where be belongs talent-wise, instead of chalking it up to a crazy year, you should talk honestly to your son, and maybe the coaches, to find out why.  The coaches at both BLC and NextLevel are the kind of guys who would be happy to give honest feedback why your son was not picked.   That discussion might help him if he does try out for Black Ops or whatever new club.  Good luck![/quote]

No, Next Level will not give honest feedback. They are on a quest to have nationally-ranked 25 and 24 teams and beat Madlax. All decisions were made based on that....but they won't say it. It's their business, so of course they can run it as they want, but let's not pretend NL is any different from any other youth sports organization.[/quote]

Can you elaborate on what you mean?    The objective of all competitive programs is to select the best team they can.   If a team measures its goals in terms of national rankings and surpassing its top competitor that sounds reasonable and normal to me.  But obviously you are trying to say something more about NextLevel, so please share what it is.  [/quote]
