[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^how are they evaluating them when they don't go to any of the games of below A/B players.  They don't watch other kids at practice.  They don't give any weight to lower team coaches.  TDs havent seen them.

So, nope, in many clubs they aren't evaluating most kids at all all year--definitely no comparisons against existing upper level.

We had one player move up mid-year that was markedly worse than everyone on the team and team below.  Blatantly obvious.[/quote]

I said "good clubs know their kids". But even in large clubs with up to 5 teams the coaches and TD's should be talking to each other. Coaches should be trying to practice with the other teams. The problem is parents just want the security of their little bubble and get territorial regarding their team. Good clubs work with player pools not "teams".  So my advice is look for a club that will train as pools so that the coaches can see as many players as possible and against a variety of kids. [/quote]
