This is the major issue with most clubs. Dissatisfaction with being moved down a team isn't about crazy parents or kids who don't want to work. The problem is that clubs either can't field quality lower teams or they don't invest the attention to developing lower teams. It's fine to be an a B team made up of players who would be on the bubble of making the A team. It's not fun or worth the money, to pay the same amount for those bubble players to play on a B team that mostly made up of unskilled kids who should probably be playing rec.  It's hard to get better on these teams, no matter how hard you work.[/quote]

Completely agree with this. What advice would you give someone in this position?[/quote]

Or, meet the B team coach and get a sense (or just ask) about his/her coaching and training philosophy. Maybe also check out a session, or two, to verify what coach says is what coach does. Bonus, your player can experience the team's atmosphere, first hand.
Also, consider the league (and division) in which the B team participates, and how their performance rates against their competition.

It's completely asinine to assert the C team at any club is better than the B team at another without actually looking at the respective teams. But then, this is DCUM, so it's to be expected.[/quote]
