Re: Players signing down, getting call up, injuries, moving around, missing games ect
Inter will be in div.1 next season and that will help change this problem. They clearly have a lot of guys playing well below their level. In North delta we use the club system as a club system. We have 4 or 5 premier players signed in div.1. They either have work issues or aren't starters week in and week out. We use 2 or 3 for div.1 every week so our pool of 16-20 premier level guys are all getting minutes regularly. We don't have a bunch of guys playing 90 minutes on 2 teams each weekend because we see that as one less guy getting minutes who could be developing on our div.1 or premier team. We may put some higher caliber players down at div.3 to try and get a div.2 spot next year but that is so we have a team in each division not to sandbag. We have essentially rebuilt our system over the last 2 years, right now it is focused on our div.1/premier team but we would like to bring a div.2 team into the mix who is semi-series.
We made a rule in our club that guys that aren't willing to be called up to premier or commit to the premier team if you are considered good enough to be a full time player, will have to play in div.2 or below. We only want guys who want to be apart of the program on the top two teams. if you want to play with buddies or call your own shots, div.2 or below is the place to do that because we feel that is Rec./fun soccer. However those guys don't get called up no matter how good they are.
