[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying that Pipeline does this, because I don't have first hand experience, but today's "better player" won't always be the best player. That is a huge part of the problem. If a club continues to give the same attention to the bubble players after the shiny new thing comes along, that would be one thing. But demoting late developers to second rate B and C teams and giving them no attention, no opportunity to train with better kids, and having them play against teams who play swarming kickball doesn't really help them develop. I wish more clubs were as selective as they are for their top teams throughout all of the age groups, It's all about the putting the best team on the field when it's the A tem, but the B and C teams are money grabs for most clubs.

Most teams can't be that selective for their B and C teams because the kids they would select don't want to play for B and C teams. The clubs that can sustain themselves long term have large programs with teams at all levels (including rec). For clubs that try to just be the best while ignoring the rest, one or two down years and they become an after thought [/quote]
