but that situation does not include taking the top 5 starters from the A team and having them play with the "B" team so they can get the W that week. While the bottom 5 on the "A" roster barely ever play and the the bottom 5 on the "B" roster sit that week as well.

That would not be considered one of the "good" reasons to move players. But it might be the only "bad" reason.

and how many players from the "A"/Premier team did they have to bring down each week to win that D1 league and pres cup?

Did you have specific examples or is this just 2nd place Timber Barons venting? But help me get your complaint straight, if BSC A players did help their B team, you have a problem with the Timber Barons A team having to play a B team with a couple of A team players? Seems very unfair.

Seems fair to me. BSC pays $1600.00 just for registration to be a B player in a Premier club. What 70-80 kids at try outs. Timberbarons pay $400. 00 a year to be on a select team. Probably 20 kids at try-outs. A premier club like BSC cannot lose to a club like Timberbarons.

This is the same Premier club that enters all their teams into the select tournament, festival of balloons, just so they can get some wins. It's a classy club.

Sorry but ALL the premier clubs do this from what I've seen. They bring down several A team stars to ensure some key wins during league play & during President's Cup. The "Premier" Club docs don't want to lose the league or Cup to a select club - even if it's a premier club B team losing to a select club A team. If the premier clubs let this happen too much then their own B team players might realize they might well be better off paying much less & just playing for a select club that's team is doing better than the one they're on. The gig would be up.

To be fair, BSC won the president's cup with girls only from the second team or that started the year on the third or maybe fourth team.

Isn't playing on BSC's 3rd or 4th team the same as playing Rec?

I don't know, is playing on THUSC, FCP's or any of the TA 3rd or 4th teams like playing rec? What's your point here? Probably better at BSC since their 3rd team lost in PKs in the semi's of the Pres Cup, so they look stronger than a lot of clubs 1st or 2nd teams.

isn't any team not playing in the top league just like rec? Isn't any B, C, non A team just like rec, with a high price tag so mommy and daddy can say their kid is playing club soccer?

Uh No and if that is the way your club treats their second and third teams, find another club.

Some clubs have enough depth that they actually have A and B teams in the top division.

Man, there are so many ugly bitter people on here.

It should come with better and paid coaching, better fields, more training opportunities, usually higher quality of play, etc, etc.

Nothing wrong with rec if you're in a good club and get a knowledgeable coach but after 4th/5th grade, most of the talent moves to club and quality gets fairly low.

Exactly! Most parents don't want to admit it though.

Have you seen a rec game lately? I have and no, it's not.

It would be exactly the same if all those B team players were saving their $$ and playing Rec instead of club. The only reason most rec is so bad now is because the parents of almost every player who can walk & chew gum at the same time have switched their kid to club for the "prestige" (we've all seen those B & C team players wearing their club warm ups to school everyday) and then it's a domino effect with more & more kids switching to club to be with their friends and fellow decent players who've already switched. Once kids can play on their high school teams (jv included), almost all B team & below players drop out of club. Also, by high school, a bunch of kids tell their parents "I don't care about playing "club or your parental soccer dreams of me...". All the time & money spent on club leaves people psychologically unwilling to admit it's all a big sham for the non-elite players.
