[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most clubs overstack rosters because they can and it generates more revenue.  Another $2-3k per kid.  Who cares if they don't get the game development minutes, right?  Players need game time.  If your kid isn't getting it, you need to move.[/quote]

and if A team bench kids are coming down to get playing time, it's very clear how the club views their B team players. I'd leave and drop to a club where DC can play for their A team (I know people have arguments on both sides, but to me it comes down to clubs usually care more about their A teams) [/quote]

We made this move for our sons.  It was the best.  They weren't treated like 2nd class anymore.  Even if a Club/parents/other players, don't explicitly come out and say things to these young kids...it's blatantly obvious.

A lot of this is not a case of ---just work harder.  They can visibly be better than many players on the upper team and still not be moved.  However, an outside player of their ability will have no problem.

My kids were able to play and compete in higher brackets in tournaments.  Play in more competitive tournaments and better league and league division.  Better than B team at other Club.  They also have far more opportunities than the B and below team kids.

But, it's about them.  If they are happy where they are leave them.  I can't imagine any kid not getting much game time is happy riding the bench.[/quote]
