Pay to play in younger ages

[Anonymous]

DS plays on a top team and if the kids aren't doing outside training (either formally or just working on their own) they are going to fall behind.

Coaches at our club are allowed to offer training, but not to kids in the age group they coach.

This is fine IMO. My problem is when it's your kids' coach. I know parents paying the coach to get on their good side and then paying a private trainer on the side that actually trains their player so they don't fall behind. It's ridiculous.

Why is it ok to pay for two trainers just so your kid is good with a coach? I think it's gross that a coach would take money from their players' parents for privates whether giving preferential treatment or not. I don't understand how this isn't a conflict of interest and across the board and a breach of contract.

It isn't ok. This whole dynamic is predatory and unethical by clubs and their coaches.

Agreed. Though I blame for the clubs turning a blind eye and allowing it in the first place.
