[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did they join? Move up from a 2nd team at the club or join from the outside? What age? Thank you![/quote]

My son was playing on the top team when the Club (SYC) introduced MLSNext level. At tryouts, a few kids didn't make it and moved down to the 2nd team opening doors to new "top" players.

By the second year, more players got moved down. Never saw a kid from the 2nd team move up to MLSNext. New players were always coming from other Clubs.

3rd year, my son didn't make MLSNext and refused to play in their 2nd team.

We looked up the MLSNext team recently and only about about 5 kids from the original team are still there. A lot of kids who left are either at other Clubs or have quit soccer all together. [/quote]

Being on the top team can kill the passion for soccer - kids who don't shine and stress about being able to dress for game day.  And playing for the second team...yeah, they'd rather quit.  [/quote]

Or it can light a fire in them. At least at our club, it’s very few, but there have been a handful that have raised from the second team over the years. Our team now has at least one from the second team getting regular minutes.[/quote]
