[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You also need to talk to other parents and determine if you can trust the club/what the offer even says. Many times you should not!! There is a lot of bait and switch on coaches, roster sizes (hey now we have 21 on our roster so you may be on the team but won't go to games), or placement (I know you were offered a spot on team A and made the decision based on this, but really some parents complained about their kid so now yours will be on team B, too bad you already paid and turned down other offers, should have played more politics).  Coaches and clubs are car salesman at heart.... whatever makes you sign on the dotted line, will lie right to your face.[/quote]

You can never trust anyone.  Even the ones that seem trustworthy eventually will reveal their stripes.

We have been “guaranteed” spots way ahead of time on top team by coaches only to have TDS who have never seen the kids play a single game/practice the entire calendar year come in and do bait switches on final rosters due to politics, nepotism, etc.  What do you say to a kid that is conscientious and the team leader whose Coach said he’s only 1 moving up that he got fucked over for a third stringer or 4th stringer with lots of older siblings and parents that schmooze?  Adios!

Always have something in your back pocket is my advice.

Some will definitely bank on your loyalty or past deadlines at other Clubs.  Some are such babies that they take offense to looking around when if they were really confident in what they had to offer, they’d encourage it.

I really despise the entire industry for what they have taken away from kids by making it a business with no heart.[/quote]
