i think any club with an A & B team will sooner or later cause digruntledness among those pesky parents...true story, look it up.

You are correct! What kid/parent wants to sign up to be on the B or C team compared to the Elite, Premier, or Challenge team? When you're paying $1,000 to play club soccer you want your kids to have the best. Unfortunately only 16-18 per age group are "the best" and that leaves the club to make money off of the "other teams." Ultimately, it's the parents that ruin it as they are the ones that demand their kid get the best, despite their kids often knowing who "the best" players are, especially if they are not one of them.



I happen to be a parent of a kid on the "B" team and we couldn't be happier. Not every kid is good enough to play premier, challenge or elite. But, my kid is a solid player at the classic level. We've played every level from rec to developmental to now classic and this has by far been the best experience we've had.

Sandman, has your child ever played on a club team? I often find that the parents who have the most negative perceptions of the club environment are those who have never had their kids part of that program.


yes, to your question, & have never been disgruntled, no reason to with youth sports. i have however listened to many parents who rightly or wrongly feel slighted about their soccer superstar....just my observations & relax, thats just the nature of parents in all youth sports.
surely this can't be news to anyone on this board
