Hence why club league systems exists in the rest of the world. Kid signs up to a club and gets assigned to a team that plays in a league that suits them. Bottom kids leagues are just for fun where winning and losing doesn't really matter. If a kid is good and wants to play competitively they automatically get moved to a different team that plays in a higher league. So there is no need to kick a kid out of a football club.
