[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been in your situation.  Coaches get into what i call “player lock” once teams get established. It’s a double edged sword.

kids who developed earlier are locked into the higher team positions because coaches will not demote them in youth stages.  It doesnt matter if your kid is slightly better.  They have to be significantly better to displace a kid

2nd your kid gets pigeonholed into a lower team kid. Guilty of association. So they will being in an outside player over your kid.

You have to leave clubs. [/quote]

You're not wrong. We are in a NOVA club w 3-4 teams per age group boys and girls side.  "Player Lock" is real. Our top team did not have any 2nd team guest players and only brought in 1 guest player from an outside club.   We will have to wait until tryouts to see if any movement actually occurs.  My guess is 1-2 players at best, and at least 1 will come from an outside club. [/quote]

My DC's team has had more guest players from the top team in a younger age group (4) then from the 2nd team in the same age group (0).  When our team needs players, they're not getting pulled from the 2nd team.[/quote]
