its not.
again, this program is really to get kids ready for 14's and up. thats it. its all supposed to be about the training and the basic skills. coaches/parents putting on pressure on teams to 'win' in the program dont know whats going on. totally agree some people who should be setting better examples are living and dying by results, and yes i honestly think it will run off more kids than it develops and its a problem. but again, how do you solve every issue?
once they hit those older ages, if they are doing really well they will get scouted and on the roundabout they go and prob find their rightful place in footballs ladder, from the heights of SPL down to NPL.
again, my kid is focused on getting a spot somewhere for next year because he loves every minute of it. thats all hes thinking of.
most kids are the same, trust me i see a LOT of it.
