[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For 2011B Va:
Looking at changing clubs unfortunately, disappointed with club.
Seems like tryouts are all roughly same time and then want commitment 48 hrs
Open to staying with club and will get an offer there but ready to see if there is a better fit for fun and development 
(Current club will put players in pretty fixed positions instead of rotating - already seeing it)
For any who have been thru this appreciate advice.  [/quote]

The 48 hour thing is nonsense.  Clubs will try and strongarm you into committing, but in reality if they want your kid they will wait forever.  If they refuse to wait it's because your kid is probably marginal for the team and may not have got all that much playing time in any case.

Oh - and by the way - as a parent of three kids with many years of playing this game I can tell you that some clubs will happily accept your commitment and turn around three months later (right before the season starts when you have nowhere else to go) and tell you that they found a better kid so they don't want your kid after all.[/quote]
