[quote=Anonymous][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]

lets say DD is happy on a team, but tries out for another club that has teams in higher leagues to see if they can make it. They're happy NCSL and likes their coach and team, but wants to see if they're good enough to play CCL 1. They then make the team and leave only to find out that the new team is over recruited and they aren't actually playing CCL 1. That's why I think recruited players should insist on the contract they signed or leave - there are clubs that will tell you one thing to get your dues and then place you somewhere else once you've left your previous club [/quote]
