[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biggest difference I see between A and B teams is speed of play. [/quote]
Its also accuracy and power of shots on goal, general aggressiveness, soccer IQ, determination. effort, etc etc etc[/quote]

Yep, and being on the A team for years, has its advantages of the better coaching, competition, tournaments, extra practices, access to weight-training.[/quote]
I didnt realize there was such a thing a A team weights. It also sounds like the A team is the only one that can do extra practices? Who knew?

Theres probably not any Rec, Futsal, Arena teams you can play on. (A teams fault again) If your kid is a girl is there any Latin leagues in the area? Usually these are cheap and coed if the girls are good. [/quote]

It's a difference when the club provides it and you have to go do it yourself and that's why B team players who still have dreams do all the extras on their own. That's all I'm pointing out. Yet, some want to funnel kids who could be the oldest in their age group with those advantages onto B teams and say how easy it is to get to the A team later. I mean it's possible, but if you've read this thread, you'll realize it's a long road.[/quote]
When my kid played on a B team the players that made it to the A team were all doing Futsal, would play in other leagues, would guest with other clubs, would play up when asked by the club, went to all the extra training sessions, and had connections into multiple clubs. None of them complained about age or RAE.[/quote]

Sure, and did it surprise you that the large majority of those kids were born in Q1/Q2 (if you paid attention)? Wonder how that happened? Of course, there are exceptions and that could be clouding your judgment.[/quote]
Honestly I never looked or cared. Until the BY to SY change I didnt know who was the oldest and who was the youngest on the team. Ironically the youngest on the team has been attending USYNT ID Sessions.

Either way If RAE is a bunch of poop or if its real theres nothing you can do about it as a player or parent. You cant change your kids birthday. My youngest is a July birthday and shes small. I know shes screwed and its going to be an uphill battle but who cares. If she wants it bad enough things will happen. Shes already is the 2nd best scorer on her team.[/quote]

Yep, there's something called the underdog effect. It's part of the RAE studies.[/quote]
Of course there is.

Label the players that dont care about or believe in RAE underdogs.[/quote]
