Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou haven't been around much have you? Sure clubs will put the clear top players on the A team roster. But after about player #15 the rest are all mostly interchangeable. That's where loyalties or club politics come into play. Better to keep families happy and where they are than experience the wrath of moving a kid down who has been there awhile - even more so if there are siblings at the club.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOh god the hoops a club will jump through to keep a multi-tuition family paying is absurd, though. Add up the tuition, camps, extra trainings and multiply by 2 or 3 kids and you're talking real $$$ and they will really go out of their way to keep those people happy.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postyes they do. But also lower roster A players and top roster B players are often very interchangeable, as the poster said. So why muck about with team dynamics etc for very little improvement in performance?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostJust not sure how WCFC holds fair and open tryouts for their ECNL A teams, since they will need to show some loyalty to the families that stayed ECNL, in which case you dont really have fair and open anything, you have the very worst of youth sports.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe idea of "fair and open tryouts" doesn't really hold water anywhere. Players currently on the team will of course have preference over new players unless (1) new player is clearly superior or (2) current player (or parents) has commitment or attitude problem. Very few clubs will cut an existing player for a new player of similar or marginally-better talent.
