How are your clubs organized? Seems like most coaches here get to stay with their kids for several years in a row. At the club level here, we tend to get a new team every year, except for any children you might have. It is not until kids reach a select, or travel, level that I'd see any continuity of players, and even then I'd have to have a travel club. I'm in a pretty rural area, so we're still sort of relaxed and it's only coaches who decide to create travel teams, not so much the clubs themselves (leading last year to two dualing U11 boys travels teams when there's not really the talent pool for two).
Could you switch clubs, or is that considered mercenary? I could go to the next county over and be in their club, but that would mean more travel than I want, and again, I'm just at the recreational level.
