[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The agendas on this page are funny and remind me of what Back of the Cage was still live, for those of you with older kids. On an anonymous forum, you can push any agenda you like which, I’m guessing here, is the agenda of people who don’t want to lose their players to other teams. Or who are now legitimately worried are their kids spot.

My older child played for M&D and so much of what is being said here has been untrue in our experience. Most of the M&D teams I’ve seen make it to high school with a core group of the same girls who started in elementary school - I’d say 1/3 - 1/2. Girls leave, girls quit the sport, and yes, girls get cut. I guess it’s coach dependent, but I have never felt that there is a win at costs atmosphere.

Bottom line is that no one is entitled to a lifetime membership to any club. When your child makes a team, especially at a top club, you know the deal. They make it for a year and come next summer, 100 girls will show up to tryouts who would love their spot. It is up to the athlete to work outside of practice to be the best athlete they can and continue to make whatever team it is they want to be on.

This. M&D teams most often have a core (agree with ur 1/3 estimate) that started in the ES years and go the whole ride. This is the very same for Hero’s (a non-profit). Even true for Hero’s White teams. I know plenty of people who had to migrate from a White team to a 50-100th ranked club, usually come middle school, to keep playing. That feels crappy because you’ve been years on the team. It’s the reality, however. No lifetime membership there either. It’s not first 3rd graders in get a guarantee.

Hard to believe CheckHers or Hoco or Integrity or Legends or Stars has a legacy policy that if you were there last year, we pick you over 5 other kids that came to tryouts and were clearly better. That’s not true. They just may not get those better 5 kids at tryouts. So it’s a mirage at lower level clubs. [/quote]
