My child's club team used to be one of the best in the state.
Numbers became an issue and we had 3 kids yanked out of developmental and thrown on our team last season. We lost games real bad last season. Just got another kid last week before a tournament. That's four. I was told by a Sr. Coach that any player "with a pulse" would make the team.
Needless to say, our team is no good. We were smoked in that tournament. The new kids have no business playing at this level. It's very painful to watch. Zero fun and zero learning in real game situations. It's all kickball and chasing balls and putting out fires instead of soccer. The training is good but when the game starts......forget it.
Ironically, last week I was talking with a Div 5 HS coach who told me we need to switch clubs. That was without knowledge of the situation.
If my kid wants to leave I will support it.
