[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't actually know any teams who knew each other before they were formed by ASA in kindergarten.  ASA just groups kids together by school, and parents volunteer to coach.  Out of our school's 6 teams, 1 girls team is very good, 1 girls team is pretty good and the 3rd girls team rarely wins.  1 boys team is very good, 1 boys team is decent and 1 boys team never wins.  (Oddly, the same coach coaches the very good girls' team and the not-good boys' team.)  [/quote]

Let me guess - your first child? We have three kids in ASA and that was true for our first in K - minimal previous experience and randomly placed with other kids from the same school. 2nd and 3rd kids were way more proficient in K (played with older siblings; mini academy for 2 years) and were pulled onto teams by coaches we know. Much stronger teams. [/quote]

OP never mentioned what club they were talking about, but Arlington is very flexible and has let us put together teams of friends and we have done the same thing. Parents don't really get it until they have a 2nd or 3rd child go through.  They can do this because they have so many rec teams in comparison to other smaller clubs that are instead always fighting parents to break up the "good teams" in their house leagues.  Eventually all the strong teams get put in Div. 1 or Div. 2, so it works out well for the club.  But at K, those teams do very well and you get parents like the OP who don't understand (assuming they are in Arlington).[/quote]
