I have seen a lot of club websites and notices announcing junior club trials for 2015.

Many Clubs are announcing trials for teams as young as U8 to U11.

I don't beleive this is a correct policy that clubs are advancing, I do understand the need for grading but that should be as far as it goes.

And if the need to improve a team as young as the U8-U11 is based on acquiring better players from other clubs what does that say about the Club's player development policies and programs?

What are others thoughts on this?
