Very disappointing but do agree that CM has to do what is in the best interest of the kids and families, not necessarily his future marketing.

If I brought my kid to what is supposedly the best club/team i the area and had to play AA not Elite I would be pissed. The don't coddle them in high school and practices and tryouts are ruthless. If you get the S**T knocked out of you, good, learn from it and improve. This age group is the transition to "perform or get cut".
