[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think rosters will expand more than usual as to not drop as many kids and upset parents or most clubs with be business as usual? Particularly thinking about first team and whether they will keep a few up as to not upset parents as much, etc.[/quote]

Do schools put or keep C and B students in advanced classes so as not to upset parents?[/quote]

Younger kids who have five months of older kids moving into their age group should be ready to move down. They can hope to stay at the same level, but very few will move up. Parents and coaches of these kids should explain this to them. It’s not a reflection of their talent. It’s a reflection of having all new competition that they’ve never had before. These “new” kids will be bigger and more skilled than similar kids on the same level team one year down. Even if they’re not personally bigger or more talented, they will have been playing against bigger and more talented players than the ones staying in the age group. [/quote]
