[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a second club team.  Work hard Get private training. ask how to improve. Put in hours.  Third team, second team, starter on the first team. Varsity at a competitive HS.  But he has put in an incredible amount of work.[/quote]

That works, but the quicker way is to jump clubs. It's much easier to make a top team from outside than to get promoted from within. [/quote]

Maybe. but most kids are placed where they should be.  I find that kids that keep moving are always bench players.

OP - If your kid was better than the existing girls, then they would play her. They won't care how long you have been there. [/quote]

My DD made one club jump before deciding she like another sport. The first was second team small club to first team large club. She started and played most of the game for both clubs. The smaller club didn't want to demote anyone because they knew those girls might leave and they couldn't afford to lose many and still field two teams. The year my DD left three other families bailed after receiving non committal answers about how open to movement the club would be at tryouts. Ironically, those girls leaving led to the second team folded[/quote]
