    Probably some truth here. All things being equal, would college coaches be more likely to go watch an A team or a B team?

      If you abide by the philosophy of you get better by playing better competition, the Rovers have been hurt by being placed in lower flights than perhaps their record warrants because they are the B team. On the other hand they get the benefits of regularly playing the other top teams within the club that they wouldn't have gotten at the Bolts.

        They wouldn't have had that opportunity playing at the Bolts??? What would have stopped them from arranging scrimmages with Stars teams?

          You people are truly clueless, if you ask any of the parents that left and went to Stars from Bolts I guarantee they say it was the best move possible. The Rovers are in the top bracket at CASL this coming weekend

            One might assume that had United gone, they wouldn't have been.

              Bolts had a few other quality players, a few of whom now play for other clubs, including stars united squads, that had they remained and picked up lunch pails certainly would have improved the rovers.

                  Excellent point.

                  Rovers are the Rodney Dangerfield team.

                    Thanks for all the concern for the Rovers well-being. We are fine. Thanks again.

                      Who are you to be speaking for the entire team? I doubt the coach has the time/inclination to post here.

                          Welcome to the political world of youth soccer. I wouldn't be surprised if the A team didn't request that the B team be put into a different flight.

                            Speaking of politics. Bolts would have used their clout. They've been known to get some of their teams into tournaments that thye wouldn't have otherwise gotten into.

                                Oh yea, I guess Needham is a top tournament.......and the Bolts did use their clout to get their #1 girls 16 team into the bottom bracket at Newss...I stand corrected!
