[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From personal experience I've seen SYC place Blue players in Orange matches for optics and potential W. Takes away playing time from the Orange players. Very lame. Never saw an Orange move up to play with Blue. I guess playing time/development is only talk. Leaving.[/quote]

This is what happened when we played the orange team. We saw the other team members from blue come over and join them. [/quote]

Current SYC parent - this might not be the nefarious thing it’s being made out to be.  For one, remember it’s covid time.  Players miss games all the time from all clubs.  They get back filled by guest players inside the org.   At our younger ages, syc keeps their rosters smaller than it seems like other clubs.  Our 7v7 is frequently rosters of 10, our 9v9 around 12, not sure older ages since my oldest is still 9v9.  So there’s player movement when we need subs as people are out of town or otherwise missing.  Frequently, those are orange players coming up to play a game with blue, then go back to play their normal game with their team as well.  Sometimes it means a player from a high team subs in on a lower team because it’s not just top team players who get hurt or miss games!    So blue players have played an orange game, or a player an age down comes up, or a white teamer plays orange or orange down to white.  Smaller rosters is great for playing time, but it’s tough when folks are missing, it doesn’t take more than 1 or 2 being gone to throw things into a tizzy.  I’ve seen each of those scenarios described in my own kids groups for a couple years now.  We also frequently have the better players from team just below joining an extra practice session.  This isn’t just 1 coach doing that, it’s across all the younger ages & boys/girls.  The club might not be perfect, but it’s not fair to say they don’t create development opportunities for players either, or that’s they’re trying to game the system.[/quote]
