Sounds like your kid is one of those kids who is not very good but has parents that keep telling her its unfair instead of to go and practice. Tell your kid to practice and become so good that the coach of the top team says that they have to have her.Believe it or not it happens all the time, the coaches want the best kids available and the top team gets the top picks, so stop being a baby and tell your kid to practice.How many kids do you believe make the top team because of connections and not perceived skill.
for the younger ages it is probably 1/6th of team, bet coach is kicking herself for some of those picks.
We'll have to wait and see this summer which comment is more accurate. Keep in mind, that there has already been a lot of grumbling on the sidelines of the 6th and 5th grade practices about kids that are there for the wrong reason.
Rumblings on 2018 as well over some new additions who have special ties.
Every age and every club has them. They know who they are. Everyone knows who they are. I wouldn't want my child be the kid on the blue team who doesn't belong and I am sure that kid, the cousin, sister, friend whoever is not happy. It is the kid no one want to pass to or partner up with. By 8th or 9th grade they all find there place. I'm not concerned. Those parents will be embarrassed on the side line when their kid stands out! A lot of people at the younger ages all think their a kids are great, the they go play for a club and realize they aren't, wait foe the season to start. Let it go. Tell your kid to work hard if they want to move.
