""Ask any Dad who has a son on a high school age club team. Over 50% of the kids that were on that team in 5th grade are no longer there.""
This is true look at Madlax. The 8th grade team has maybe one player that was on the team when they were in fifth grade and he is not even a starter.
For top teams this is pretty accurate. 50% of kids from 5th grade are gone by high school. Yet that won't stop parents from arguing who is the best 5th grade team as if it matters.
