Quote: I guess the best place is where everybody wins..The kids need to figure out what they want to get or achieve out of club soccer..Winning is a great thing..nobody wants to finish last.But If my child was a bubble or bench rider on the winning team or a leader on a average team working to get better..I think she would choose the average team..What I am saying is there is alot more to the game than the win/loss colums..
I agree with you totally.It is not about winning all the time but player development,personal goals and fun. I have seen both U-14 girls teams play and a merger to form a Challenge and or/Premier Team and a Challenge and or/Classic Team would probably have been the best thing for all the girls. Too bad ego's, parental involvement and clubs get in the way. My daughter is playing where she wants to play. I hope all the others are too.
