Quote: By combining the U13 and U14 teams, it would be possible to put all of the "true" Challenge players together to form one competitive squad. Since MPSC also fields Classic teams, the Classic-level players from each team who would be "displaced" could in actuality be placed on a Classic team at an appropriate level so that they can be competitive and have a fulfilling, highly developmental season as well. Both teams would be more uniform in talent level, and both would have an opportunity to be successful.
I like this idea....seems like a win win situation for all. What a great idea placing players at the level they belong to help in their development.
Doesn't look like this is the path that MPSC is going. MPSC will keep all thier U14 players together and bring up enough U13 players to fill a U14 Challenge team. MPSC will then combined the remaining U13 players from their two U13 teams to make one.
Could be some unhappy parents and players for those on the bubble and not selected for the U14 team.
Hmmmmm....I'm puzzled by your comment that it "doesn't look like this is the path MPSC is going." Your version of what you say they are doing is the same thing the previous poster said....you just worded it differently.
If some of the U13s were not selected to play up...could it be that they were not at that skill level. This is the same thing as others have said.....why would you say that is not what they are doing.
