I guess the question I have is why? Those teams were both quite good. Does anyone have any more insight than just GFR is a trash club?

The two things that lead to mass exodus are both tied to uncertainty: a new coach, and hearing other players are looking around. A few players say they're gone, others follow, and the snowball picks up speed rolling downhill. If the coach was well-liked and is leaving and the new one is not perceived to be equally great, people look around too. It happens to good teams at every club, every year.

Yes we had a conflict and couldn't make it. What was the outcome?

If you cared enough about the outcome, you should’ve attended the meeting. Having training does not mean you don’t attend the meeting. I dropped my kid at training and went to the meeting and then went back and picked up my kid. Nothing will change if more parents don’t give a shit enough to even show up for a meeting.

The thing is it's too late for these conversations... teams have already lost 9 or more players, coaches are already gone, where was this meeting 2 months ago when everyone had questions about what was happening?

No, it is not too late. Some of us still have kids in the club and we have a vested interest in making sure things go better this year. The new technical Director seems promising compared to the complete idiot we had before.

Agreed, however starting these conversations earlier (before entire age groups were decimated to the point of entire teams not existing next year) might have been nice. Most people we know left because of uncertainty and unanswered questions. This kind of upheaval warrants more transperancy from the beginning if the club wanted any other result other than mass exodus.

Is fallout from teams other than girls elite? With 2010 and 2011 elite girls both state cup finalists, presume those teams staying in tact? 2010 boys elite finalists too so presume the 9 leaving not from that team? So guess asking is it that if on top team, players staying but if not on that team is where movement?
