[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bethesda parents, trust me. It is the same everywhere, for boys and girls. Kids get ahead based on parent connections.  Second teams are given the bare minimum. Talented kids who work hard are cast aside when a shiny new thing who might be a little more advanced today shows it.

It is the same everywhere. Youth soccer sucks.[/quote]

Why shouldn't the best be on the first team, even if they are new.  If you make the teams based on how long you have been with the team, then the kids get complacent and won't work as hard.  [/quote]

While I agree the best players should be on the 1st team, most of the longtime kids do not show the most effort. This is maybe because they are comfortable that parent would work magic to keep them on the roster.

This is how it works in a nutshell with youth soccer - parents who want "it" more than their kid, maybe for prestige, would make sure to situate themselves with decision makers in the club. Nothing a round of golf or donation couldn't fix. This works, until it doesn't (change of leadership, college, new strong coach)[/quote]
