[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really hard to weigh status and value of competition/practice of being on top team and playing lower when you are somewhere in the middle. Playing time is always going to be critical, but have also seen DS grow by the better training environment of the top team.

The frustration about being placed on a top team and having your spot either taken or limited is understandable. But this is also travel soccer and in most cases playing time is merit based. You may feel lied to or disappointed. Focus on the development of your child and what works best for him or her.[/quote]

that's an understandable way to look at it if a kids has been with a club for awhile. If a kid goes to a few tryouts and has multiple offers to weigh, then the yes where the team is in the club's pecking order matters- be it for the quality of the coaching and the training or the quality of the league the team plays in. If my kid was unhappy with a demotion, I would absolutely leave and would probably try to get my money back on the way out- contracts work too ways, they bind a kid to a club, but based on certain conditions  [/quote]

But if your child was demoted because of ability you would leave? I’ve never understood the idea that you keep your spot the whole season even if other players pass you. That’s great for those that don’t want to compete but that’s also a losing mentality for development. You should be earning your spot every day. [/quote]
