[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we're with Valor *gasp* I know. Our age group has multiple players moving UP and DOWN mid season. This is below U13, so don't know about other age groups. These moves were NOT by parent's requests. From what we can tell the moves were warranted. Our player was not one of those moved, but we had a player move up from our team and another move down to us from the team above.

Our experience has been a good one so far, but it's a big club so I imagine opinions will vary.[/quote] again not a thing in younger age groups.  Teams are lumped together and then they recruit from rec to fill rosters. The earlier kids signed up will generally work out with top coach.. and   Kids rotate around.  Its not till 9v9 when the teams really form.  The appearance of a team color is to make mommy and daddy feel good.[/quote]

You have fully made up this little narrative. No longer in 7v7 but this does not match up AT ALL with what happened when our child was that age. I suspect this is what you are telling yourself so you feel better that your kid was on a lower team and never got moved up. It’s totally because you signed up later. Sure buddy… [/quote]

And another thing: it’s possible that more kids on the top team signed up earlier because they got offers after one tryout, whereas other kids didn’t get an offer for a while because coaches were less sure about them. Kids who get offers later are obviously going to sign up later, because of the whole supposed “48 hrs to make a decision” window all clubs try to do. I know for a fact that someone on the lowest team in my child’s age group didn’t get an offer until like a week after tryouts ended. Obviously that kid wasn’t a top priority for them, but rather made sense to offer them as other kids declined and they decided to make an additional team (which I don’t think Valor should do, it’s a money grab and some parents don’t know that). This isn’t rocket science![/quote]
