[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just went through an annoying club experience.

My oldest is a 2010 and on top team and has been for 10+ years.

My youngest is a 2016. She started playing a little older but tore up the rec league and was moved into their all stars program and did the same.

They invited us to the competitive cattle call tryouts and my 2016 was put into the 4th group with the players wearing helmets.

I couldn't believe it. There was definitely a disconnect. I suppose I should have shmuzed up to the youngers doc or just went directly to the top team coach. But I thought the club was tracking success + would be a little more accommodating with top players younger siblings.

Meh, big deal. Their loss we went down the street to a smaller club. The parents are way nicer. The practice facilities are better. Coach played in college and is doing everything right. My kid has done the same thing at the new club and is scoring all the goals. Eventually we'll play and likely beat the big club the put my daughter in the "helmet crew" during tryouts and I fully expect coaches to be waiting to say hi in the parking lot. [/quote]

2016 is just the beginning of a long journey. And soccer at that age is absolute crap, regardless.[/quote]
