Please don't go there on this. There are just as many parents/players in MP who would say the Bridge players should move to MP. The Bridge team is a mixture as well of varying ages, so why shouldn't they be the ones to make the move.
There are arguments both ways, but don't disrespect the girls that are staying to play on the U13 and U14 MP teams in the spring.
I think there are alot of teams in this state that have kids playing up a year on teams. Besides, there is more to all of this than just what club you play for. For some of these girls, they also take into consideration the social aspect, the level of sportsmanship, and teammates that are respectful to one another.
The only problem with you saying that Bridge players should move to MPSC instead of the other way around is that 94 Bridge team has had some success in the past (apart from being knocked out from the state cup in the semis in the Spring) and is a very good team. Those few players would add more depth to already a very good team and hopefully help them trying to win a spot in the Premier League for next year.
Everyone always talks about being a team player and all that, but in reality there is really no loyalty to the club or coaches on that matter that developed all those kids anymore and when things don't go according to the plan (parent's plan) many parents pack their bags and end up going to a better club. What does that teach the kids? It's hard to blame parents to do so but in case of a 13 or 14 year olds when does a coach gets a chance to build some kind of stability when he has to deal with new kids every year?
MPSC 95's Elite should have placed their team in the PMSL this past Fall (the DOC or whoever makes the decision about the team placement should have recognize that) and after having some success and confidence they could have move up in the Spring. Both them and DISA are a good example of parents expectations being a bit too high.
