[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. [b]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. [/b]Much stronger teams. [/quote]

DS's U6 coach did this, though the intention was never to win U6 games (!!!) i don't think but to weed out jet-watch/grass-picker/dirt-kicker etc. so the practices would be less hectic. it's not novel but the coach volunteered his time/energy so it's fair for him to have a preference. and yes as a result it was a stronger team and had a couple of good seasons. but by 2nd gr it all seemed to have evened out.[/quote]
