[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the rec level, they should be doing what they can to make sure the teams are roughly level in terms of skill, so that when the teams play each other, it is fun for all the teams.

What usually happens is that the stronger teams try to stay together.  Some leagues are better at preventing this than others.  Usually though, the coaches have some sort of "draft" and if the friend's coach doesn't think your DC is good, they won't draft them.

No, we have an A team and B team. Everyone gets a spot, but maybe not a spot on the team they wanted.[/quote]

Curious how that works. Does that A team play against the B team and just beat them every game?  How is that fun or fair?[/quote]

Have you never played sports in your life? Each team plays in a league. They play a number of different teams from different clubs. It makes zero sense for Team A to play Team B from the same club every week.
You understand that there are leagues, yes?[/quote]

That isn’t how rec works in most cases. Rec is typically an “in house” program where you play other teams within your club.  So your comment about an A and B team made no sense.  What you are describing may be “rec” technically but it functions way more like travel.[/quote]
