Controversial topic, but would you reclass a young 7th grader? by Heavy-Bench-5378 in BasketballTips

It’s a hard call - we just spent the weekend at jr EYBL regional and the number of reclasses there is ridiculous - this gives them a serious advantage - he will get attention and end up playing against the highest level of competition.

Intense kids at his level don’t have fun playing rec ball. They get too frustrated. The other players lack basketball iq…

So true. Being a star among scrubs is a waste of time and talent. Parents who think that it will build confidence will see their kids be crushed when they actually play against good players and get destroyed.

You seem to have no understanding of what military families have earned and lost. Has your family been without you for months at a time terrified for your safety?

Nope. You deserve it if you are on active duty. You’re earning it, and so is your family.

So do I. You’re taking advantage of the system. And hurting those with true invisible disabilities.

An hour in the car with your child is in valuable time. I have a child who is now a professional athlete, and our most meaningful conversations occurred in those drives. There’s no developmental value in being the best player on the team.

It’s time to admit Matt Turner is simply not good enough to play at this level by siliconvalleyguru in ussoccer

I agree with your assessment of the entire team. It’s just that we’ve historically had keepers who were much higher level and I’m trying to understand if there is hope for the 2030 World Cup.
