[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a strange thread. The OP asked when “not good” players drop out, and indicated their child was still in elementary. Kids that young progress at radically different paces year to year. We have a U11 moving up to our top team that was on our 4th team just last year. I also can’t count the number of players I have seen who either burnt out, went down a bad path of smoking/drinking/drugs, started off athletic but gained weight, or peaked early and then were passed in high school. Meanwhile, some of these not good players will wind up some of the best U18s because they work hard and nothing came easy for them. [/quote] That's for the fairies. The vast majority of the best kids at U19 are the same ones who were the best at at U8. Sure there's an occasional exception which proves the rule, and there are plenty of kids who move a little way up or down the ladder. But there are very few kids who move from bottom to top or vice versa.[/quote]
