Quote: so what happens to the exceptional player who is on a poor team? Do they switch clubs, play up or suffer through the frustration of playing on a sub-par team? Be reminded that although the decision is the childs the club and teammates will certainly have animosity surounding any decision. The issues are different but we need to remember that both types of players are confronted with difficult circumstances.
There's no right answer to this scenario. I know of kids who stay on the subpar team and lead.....and develop and find other ways to compete, such as ODP. Other kids switch to a more competitive team.
