I think they decide which 5-6 kids will be the varsity at 7th grade. They don't try to develop kids that might be a little behind in the program. Many quit cause they know they are not going to play. That is the problem IMO. Your worst 7th grader could be your best senior with development. Winning at seventh grade means nothing! Give all the kids an opportunity to play and learn the game at the younger levels.Flying Wallenda wrote:Who coaches at PRFL now? I've always felt Robinson was one of the better coaches in region 2. Success at the elementary/JH level does not necessarily equate to varsity success. Are kids being taught fundamentals? Does the program retain kids? Is the youth coach only coaching to win - playing the same 5-6 kids and not developing the others, essentially running them out of the program?
In watching a lot of region 2 bball the last several years, I've never once thought at PRFL or MM was out coached or failed to win the region due to lack of coaching.
