Here was our experience with our former org’s guesting within and moving up to the gold team:
We had a great 1st year 14U season which our 18U “Gold” coach took notice of. She then asked our 14U HC who he could see playing for the gold team the following season. She had mentioned my dd as one of the players, and he got ticked off and told her my dd, nor any of his other players, could play on her team (he wanted to keep the 14U team together and have them move up together). Once we had learned of that, we moved on. An organization should be developing their own talent to feed their gold (or highest level) team, not hold back players who are ready to make the move.
His dd was not mentioned in that conversation, so I imagine that’s where a lot of the issues stemmed from. He never made us aware of any chances to guest with the gold team, but his dd did. Huh….
