Springfield (SYC) is a complete mess right now.  Stay away.

Would love to hear more about why you think that PP.  We are with another small club and were considering moving back to SYC.  (We tried out for them last spring and ended up going with another club, mostly because there seemed to be a lot of upheaval in terms of how they charge, the role of the team manager, transition from more fluid movement between the teams to players being locked into A/B/C/D for the entire year, etc.).  Is that what you were referring to?  I don't know much about the coaches so if you have any info on that I'd love to hear.  Our DS is U11, if that matters.[/quote]

Have heard similar things from 3 different people - with both boys and girls, in different age groups.  Coaching is spotty at best, and there's been lots of upheaval as you say.  The general sentiment is they haven't gotten what they signed up for, and those who've been with the club for a while feel it's moving downhill.   They've moved away from academy model which makes the coaching even more inconsistent.    Coaches have too many teams, often show up late to practices, or leave early.  Now some coaches are being forced to drop teams in the middle if the year, so some parents don't even know who is going to coach their kid in the spring.  No one seems to know what's going to happen next, or who's even in charge.  Just sounds like a complete mess.   [/quote]
