With that said, if the program does not treat them like a second thought and gives the attention to this team and every other (2nd Team) that needs it it will continue to build a great foundation of kids and people.
If this year they ignore this team with recruiting in full swing next year, I can only assume you will find many more that leave. That will begin the trend filtering down to the younger years that if you are not on their top team then go play for another top team. If this program wants (2) teams in every age to be really competitive then you need to work hard to make that a reality.
You also see how the Super Team was built and the mistake that was. They should have kept 2 teams and embrace that healthy competition. The ego's of the coaches and the parents were too big and the compromise is not producing the results they would have expected.
Learn from the other program's mistakes and dare to be different.
