[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, unfortunately you're in a tough spot.

Staying with a smaller club, where you do not enjoy the coach or losing record and/ or maybe they play in a lower tier league  will probably not do much in the long run of doing much to get your son noticed or improve him much.

But being on the B team of a bigger club is also a hard spot to be.  You might get better development and get more competitive players, but you are on the B team and you can get stuck there.  It is hard to move from the 2nd team to the top team in that environment, the coaching staff will often take outside players over 2nd team players. And your 2nd team player is surrounded by other 2nd team players, which will be hard to develop in.

I'd pickup some outside training and bring him to some 1st team practices at other clubs, especially now that the dust from tryouts has settled.  [/quote]

Only lazy coaches are unwilling to put in the work to really observe top 2nd team players that could be a good addition to the top team.  If outside talent is much stronger of course than take outside talent but to not even consider 2nd team players is a joke.  Half of these coaches talk a big game about development but are unwilling to promote from within and really help a player grow.  [/quote]

Happens way too often at way too many clubs. Name the clubs here on this thread so people know which ones to be wary of.[/quote]

Armour and SYC[/quote]

I have two players at SYC including friends with kids in other ages and there is plenty of internal movement. [/quote]

Can't speak for Armour but agree on this with SYC. My kid was given chances to play up then eventually was moved up. [/quote]
