[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some clubs aren't as far along as those with the FAQs. At mine, we just had a coach (HS level) acknowledge the issue but said he didn't have any good info yet, other than he personally thought the club probably wouldn't want to break up older teams, especially if the group does well and gets along right now. He also promised more info from the club upcoming soon. So a big stay-tuned for us.[/quote]
This is the logical approach. Clubs have spent years grooming older teams into playing together with little drama from players and parents. Throw in that older players are likely communicating with college coaches who expect to see them with a certain number and on a specific team. Breaking these teams and players up for wins (nobody cares) when everyone is playing to get recruited doesn't make sense.[/quote]

I think it depends on the team and player. Some kids are just playing because they love to play and to stay sharp for HS. Others have college dreams. We have a group of Q4ers, with a few who might be able to join a higher team that's younger with a bigger recruiting platform. Wouldn't blame them for going if they can make it either at our club or elsewhere.[/quote]
All players on top teams are looking to get recruited. First they're really good. But also coaches and parents drive iin college scholorship so much its all players think about.

Lower level teams/clubs and players think that it's finally their turn. Unfortunately top teams have already moved on. Retreating to their closed leagues and events. Rarely giving an outsider a chance to beat them.[/quote]
