[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what happens with multiple teams from U10 to U11. The A team gets stability, the B team has to rebuild 50% of the team and gets the short end of the stick, and the C team has no stick left.

Roster size increase from U10 to U11, 12 to 16 players - this is what happens:

Example: 
3 teams: A, B, C each team has 12 players

U9/U10

A: 12
B: 12
C: 12

U11/U12:

A: 12 original A's + top 4 original B's

B: bottom 8 original B's + top 8 original C's

C: 4 bottom original C's + 12 players pulled up from house/rec

Some clubs fold the C team because it's non-competitive.
This does not factor in players coming into the club from outside, or players who are "playing up" a year coming back down to their age group.

So if you were originally a "B" player for U9/U10 but do not make the A team at U11, beware.

You have the same B team as U10 (minus the 4 best players, which makes a big difference) plus 8 more "C" team players, which greatly lowers the level of the team.

The coach is also an important factor.

This was true for us at the U14 level and it just gets worse.  Players start leaving for other clubs and we would be short players at games.  We got the inexperienced coaches.  No sense of a team anymore because the players keep changing.  Definitely find out where the other players are from and consider other options if you are offered a spot on the lower level team and your son is U12 or above.
