We were loyal and quiet and it didn't matter. Be careful, local smaller club, never would have expected it.
Not good enough anymore. She played up, other kids played high school while she had no options, so yes, not good enough after 4 months off. My main issue, she was wanted on a team in her age group in November after league, we stayed loyal since our commitment was through state cup. Small kid, maybe should have stopped anyway, but not the choice of this guy or the DOC.
Don't stay loyal.
That's a difficult age group, especially for a smaller kid. Sounds like she was in 8th grade, and at the lower end of 2003** group, while many on her team were freshman. There is a huge gap for this age group. The olders are 11-12 months older than the youngest. Combine this with the peak puberty changes and you have young men and women as compared to just became teens.Not good enough anymore.

I feel like once you are U14 or older, your team is your team. Especially at a smaller club. Especially if not a DA team. Maybe a few small moving parts here or there. (Kid moves away. Kid quits soccer. A players best friend wants to leave her team and move to your team). But unless a kid never shows up and/or has a horrible attitude - Roll with the team you have created at this point.
I am talking from a coaches standpoint.I disagree with this 100%. Your loyalty is to your player. Things change. Why would a player that is too good or too bad for a team stay with it other than situation "A" and they are staying to help their friends get recruited? Even then it might hurt them if they look better than they are due to the unicorn's presence on the team?
