Does word get around if your kids are trying out for other clubs?

1) It's good practice.
2) Always nice to see where you stand in other clubs.
3. Might find yourself more comfortable with another team/coach.

In the end, it doesn't hurt. However, I wouldn't flaunt that information around. I'd keep it quiet.

If you have already committed by making a deposit, how can you accept a better offer?

The deposit holds your spot. The next payment isn't due until summer. If you choose to leave the club you just lose the deposit. Well worth it if you find a better team.

But I’ve seen where a club/coach is vindictive and won’t release a player card.

I’ve also seen clubs require full payment—have lawyers for the year.

You actually sign a contract at deposit for most clubs.

Don't go to tryout talking toxic negativity about your current club/coach

The 'new' club knows you'll do the same to them.
That's where the tryout folks will happily notify the current club. They don't want you either.
