It's a nice idea. There's still MnD and Hero’s tryouts left. Things might really get crazy in here.

MnD team is set.

Yeah, spending $100 per head on that tryout is just filling their budget

Both M&D and hero’s have already worked out who they are adding, top players from other teams got a call from them and accepted a while ago. Don’t waste your money

Sigh... there might be truth in this. Top end talent doesn't just show up at tryouts for elite teams. There's probably been conversations held in private.

A few top kids leaving is typically the start of a death spiral, unfortunately.

In the case of BLC we are lucky to see them go

BLC parent here. Not everyone feels this way.

And this is why we have had such a toxic team culture

If you feel this way, you should take it to the Club Director and Coaches. They’ve addressed this before.

The BLC director has a daughter on the 2030 team.

I would avoid any travel team where the coach or director has a kid in your daughter's age group. It just seems like a recipe for drama. In rec, it's unavoidable, but there's no reason to put up with it in club.

Parent coaches are the norm, whether M&D, Hero's, MDU, BLC, Yellow Jackets, its the reality.

Which is weird, because there's a huge market of experienced, v good coaches that are itching to train and drag 6th graders all year up and down the coast for a few grand.

So glad I’m going to have two years of this thread. 2028s have nothing on the 30s. Keep it up parents.

The amount of sh*t posting for a lax year is inversely proportional to the strength of the teams that year. The 2028s are high drama and low skill, we don’t hear much from the 2029s because they have several great local teams. Feels like the 2030s will fall in the middle.

Not a peep from the 27’s and 26’s either

I've noticed that too. Why do you think that is?

Maybe the 28s just have a unique brand of psycho and the 30s occasionally have those bad days too

Read the copious amount of analysis on the 2028 thread. That age group is on par with previous age groups in ranking in talent. Love 30 parents flexing their DDs already.

Definitely not going to go through 200+ pages of bickering about a lax year where I don’t have a kid, but I’ll try to believe you. I’m sure the 2028s are the very best

It happens, but it's also avoidable. I'd rather have a college-age or recent grad as a coach than a parent who is more experienced. Too much drama.

I’m sure there are parent coaches who do a fine job but you rarely escape feelings that they favor their own kid, and if their own isn’t the best there’s no chance she gets cut

Technically, BLC coach that’s at Holton is not a parent, correct? YJ also doesn’t have parent coaches.

Because a group of parents shopped which “brand” would give them coaches and uniforms. They have a good group of athletes. Maybe it is actually not a bad model after all.

Starting to think more teams should do this. If a club isn’t meeting expectations, move to one that will. Clubs cut players, why can’t teams cut clubs?

Isn’t the BLC/Holton coach the goalie’s mom?
