[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How typical is this? Tryouts, kid gets accepted to a "higher level color team" we pay the travel fee. They say they will continue to assess team placement, solidifying at the end of August. Get our "higher level" team placement end of August, practice commences. 2 weeks later, kid is bumped down to the next level down team. This seems to be happening to a bunch of kids. Is this typical? I feel like it's a bait and switch- get 'em in the club by promising them higher level play, having them forego perhaps other travel team offers and then, JUST KIDDING, you are dropped down. There have been maybe 5 games played in total, and a handful of practices. Whatever happened to making a commitment to coach the players who have committed to you and giving them a runway to improve and for the team to mesh? I get VYS has to try raise their profile by winning, but I was under the impression they were a little more concerned with player development. This is our first year, maybe this is typical at other clubs as well? [/quote]

If the kid in the "A" (top) team is NOT playing well (lack of skill or understanding of the game, etc...) and there is a better quality skilled player in the "B" team, why not switch them? the coaches should be allow to switch anytime within the season to create competition within the team.
This is TRAVEL soccer, NOT rec, and if the club gets better results at the games, they will pull more talent into the club, which will eventually make it a more competitive club, aaand this would benefit the rest of the kids that are in the A team as well. And hopefully the kid that got pull down to the "B" team will get more play time. Everyone wins... [/quote][/quote]
