There are a few reasons young players move teams such as wanting to play with class mates or school friends, wanting to win rather than lose, winning things, inducements such as training kit etc., regular training, better coaching, more game time, wanting to feel valued, mum and dad’s friends have a child playing for another team.
The main reason though is the parents who think that their child would be better off somewhere else, mainly for most, if not all, of the reasons above. The parents more often than not make the decision for the child as as there’s no regulation to stop a club approaching the parents or player then it will always happen.
