[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to ask what excuses have you heard in the clubs attempt to retain players?

Maybe your child will be promised n a higher level team?
Maybe free practices with older age groups?

My favorite was DS team had lost after lost for 2 years in U9 -U10 age and club would tell us not worry about the outcome. We were in fact developing our team and some teams that beat us did the kick and run but others outplayed us the right way. We have moved to another club and happier with our decision. [b]Our son is understanding the game more and passes are more thought out. He's old teammates in the other hand are still losing game after game.[/b][/quote]

I would gladly show you the door.  I have never liked these kinds of parents at this age and their kids often become toxic. Have a nice day. [/quote]

The kind of parent that moves teams because the coaching is poor and seeks out a coach who actually develops players?  Why wouldn't you like that type of parent?[/quote]

Maybe the talent just isn't there. Players can still improve even if the team isn't winning.
And of course your son is understanding the game more and the passes are more thought out--that comes with getting older.[/quote]

Maybe the talent isn't there to win the league, but it would be rare to not have enough talent to at least finish mid-table with a good coach.  And the key is indeed improvement.  So if your team lost every game by six goals in the first half of the season and is now losing by just 1 or 2 goals and drawing the occasional game then I would agree that it is likely there has been development and the coaching has been useful.  To be certain of course yopu'd need to watch the games and see the kids play.  But if after two years your kids are getting the same results as initially then the coaching needs closer inspection.[/quote]
