If you're coming from a Flight 2 team and trying to go to a new club and get accepted on Flight 1 is this possible?
From our (my child and I) experience it looks like the popular clubs have only one Flight 1 team and perhaps two Flight 2 teams and to get on the Flight 1 team you either:
1. Need to have been playing on the Flight 2 team one or more years at the same club.
2. Are coming from another club where you were on the Flight 1 team.
3. Know some coach or and team manager from the Flight 1 team that refers your child.
4. Have been recommended from your Flight 2 coach to move onto the Flight 1 team.
I've seen super skilled kids get asked to practice and scrimmage with Flight 2 teams is this about filling the roster and money with some of these clubs because there's no openings on the Flight 1 team roster?
But now what if you don't get on the Flight 1 team but are Flight 1 quality should you continue to play at a Flight 2 level where your child is saying it's too easy and feels bored with the slow paced tempo?
In my experience and this is sad for me to say but I've seen really talented kids that I thought were beyond real with skills that played at a very fast tempo stay on these Flight 2 teams and then a year or so later I see them play and they have lost all the talent that I saw in the previous years and are now playing as defenders or some other position that I would have never imagined to see them play.
And on the other hand I've seen kids on the Flight 1 team look like Flight 3 quality so I'm confused...
