[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call me crazy, but I think parents have a right to know if a club they're considering is involved in competitive games or a long series of useless blowouts that develop neither the winning team nor the losing team.[/quote]

(Silently bangs head against wall). For the8/9/10/11-year old---that one game per week is essentially nothing for their development.

Worry about your kid playing on their own and what they are actually doing in PRACTICE sessions.

You would be appalled at how absolutely shitty a lot of the $3k/per year travel practices are for developing individual players.

My kid has been on very winning teams and very losing teams. He actually got a lot more out of the losing Club because the coaches were so good.  They weren't filling the field with just physical players that chased down the ball.  In the teen years, these kids all replaced the little former A team CCL stars.[/quote]

Winning and losing matters to their morale, egos, confidence, motivation, etc., which are all very important factors in how they train and keep going.  Being on a competitive team is pretty important in alot of kids.  Just as good coaching, good training, good teammates, etc are.[/quote]
