[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If kids are checked out of their discipline and commitment to their team in March when the season ends in June, its not the fault of early tryouts.

I don't think people are saying the kids lose their discipline and commitment to playing soccer for the team.  But the social dynamic is a mess.  Kids (and their parents) who view themselves as moving up can develop toxic egos.  Kids who are being cut are either mad as hell or dejected.  The kids are less committed to their social relationships with teammates who won't be on the same team next year.  It is ridiculous and unnecessary (except for the club's interests).  Also, at young ages, kids are developing rapidly.  A borderline U11 kid could decisively move up or down in the depth chart over a Spring season and summer.  [/quote]

The Toxicity is the Parents fault

Kids raised right would make the new team and still show up at the current team as if nothing happened to finish out the season at 100%[/quote]
