[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have any Q3 and Q4s gotten offers from a higher level team in the lower age group?[/quote]bwahahahahahaha

That goes against club interest

I am curious to know this as well[/quote]

Can you explain how this goes against club interest? I legitimately do not understand, but I’m confident I’m missing something and you must be right.[/quote]Clubs don't like to promote within their club because it doesn't make them more money and blocks top slots that they can use to offer outsiders, meaning more money for the club.[/quote]

I think that’s less likely this year. There’s a whole 5 months of birthdates to pull from within the club itself. Clubs would be silly not to evaluate those kids, current kids and new kids.

My DD is a Q4, and if she isn’t moved up a level or two by going down an age group, we will look elsewhere. We know the kids on the age group below for rec soccer, so we know where we fit in, and it’s definitely not the same level as the one we are playing in at the older age group.[/quote]

Sample size of one, but our club appears remarkably uninterested in moving kids up to higher teams this year.  Rumors are that they are giving instant offers to outside players at same league level.  From the parent sewing circles, it sure looks like clubs are trying to capture A team players from other clubs (who are panicked about potentially losing their spot) and hope their top B team players don't leave.  If everyone accepts, the NL team (at a younger age group) will only have 2-3 from the new Q1, while RL will be fully half Q1.  This chaos is far from over.  If you're dead set on moving up, and haven't already been given a chance to practice with the higher team inside the club, my advice would be to at least get some other tryouts/id sessions on your calendar to cover yourself.
