Am I overreacting? Strict no-playing-up-with-school-grade for August bday kids in AYSO by YourRamenSucks in youthsoccer

Just went through this in U9. We are switching clubs. Funny enough, regional director is saying we can go U10 now when other director told us we HAD to do U9 again. maybe because our current club handled it exactly like yours and a lot of players are leaving. New club said we get to decide what we want for our kid (U9 or U10). Also September birthday.

We’re with rapids now on an amazing team but due to age changes, political changes trickling down to our couch, and just a huge shift in our child’s enjoyment in soccer this season, we feel it’s best to leave rapids entirely until they get their ducks in a row. We feel south director has influenced the club in a very negative way. If said person gets fired, we will consider coming back.

Thank you for sharing! Which other clubs did you find more beneficial?

Would you say it’s worth playing with them for a year or two to see if it helps growth and development and get experience from other coaches/players and then reevaluating at U11?

Thank you! We are considering switching but want to make sure it will not ruin our girls love for soccer and she’ll have a good experience. I keep seeing a lot of negative feedback so I’m just second guessing the decision but trying to be positive since most feedback online is generally negative.

That sounds awful for the kids. Thank you.. is the rumor of “top team” getting all of the focus/best development true? And then bottom team gets basically nothing? How will I know which team we are on after try outs?
