YJ goes for the better kid!!! Does not matter. My kid wore a red pinnie and made a blue team. Please stop making all this up. If your kid is that good they will find you.
So, the question being posed is whether a club should automatically promote a player from within the club to a higher level team in favor of an outside player found through tryouts who might be more skilled?
While BOTC would recommend taking the BEST PLAYER for the open position since that is the way the "real world works", we can see that there might be different policies for the top or second team in a club than those used for the third or fourth team. For example, it is likely easier to demonstrate loyalty inside the club moving from the fourth to the third team, but competitive play overrides loyalty at top clubs when you move higher in the pyramid.
Whether you come to this reality now or when you are thinking about going down the college recruitment path, the reality is that ability will override legacy.
