[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are proud of your club's playing and not playing 9 year olds, say their name. Or else you aren't as proud as you pretend. [/quote]

Worry about training and the rest will take care of itself.

What will your excuse be in four years?[/quote]

No names?  Are you afraid to identify the clubs and coaches who you believe support limiting playing time at u9 and u10?  It’s simple.  If it is a good thing to do then everyone will certainly applaud and be happy to know these fine clubs and coaches.  Or, alternatively you can admit it is actually a really bad thing to do to 9 and 10 year olds.  There is no alternative.

I will pass along something the DofC of a club 2 of my kid’s played with for many years said that he learned over 25 years of youth coaching.  The best u9 players are never the best u12s, and it all changes again by u16.  I would add to that by college it can all change again.  Take a look at any college team roster on line.  Count the seniors. Now go back 4 years and see how many were in the freshman entering class.  If 50% are still playing as seniors that school is doing pretty good.  Many schools don’t keep more than a third.

So - again - coaches and club names please.

Simple, every travel team. Kids don’t get, nor can they expect equal minutes at travel.

And, yes the tired old story of super star 12 year olds passed by. This is true only for kids that work for it and don’t complain about game minutes. Instead they work harder to earn minutes or they move to a more appropriate level. The kid of the OP will not be playing competitive soccer in four years because they don’t understand.
