[quote=SocAnon]""DD was at a club where this happened. Team members were refunded the share of their team dues used to pay the coach's salary. That's why I think it is a reasonable ask. If I was in OP's position and I was strongly rebuffed, I'd probably go to small claims court once my kid left the club. Professional (no mater how debatably professional) coaching is a major differentiator between rec and travel and is part of what justifies travel fees [/quote]""

Thanks for sharing your experience, I would completely agree with your suggestion to ask for a discount/ refund as an option.  Also at our club, if a parent is also a Coach, their kids participate for free (thus doubling their incentive to Coach.)  I'd rather we not have parents coaching their own kid's teams, but our club has struggled to get good coaches, not just qualified coaches; so clubs frequently end up with this situation. Some parent-coaches are very good.  Some professional Coaches are terrible.

Perhaps the OP should bring it up to Club leadership now, but maintain a wait and see approach after 1 month? Or perhaps, they already dislike the parent-Coach based on previous encounters; if that's the case, they likely will not be happy remaining on the team.  [/quote]
