[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After thinking about it I'm wondering if word gets to the coaches that their kids are trying out for other clubs.  Do coaches even care?[/quote]

This is going to be coach-dependent, of course.  But bear in mind that even though there are a number of clubs in the area, a lot of coaches know each other.  And certainly parents/players know each other.  If your DC is a great player and/or a favorite player of your current coach, then maybe trying out elsewhere doesn't have any negative consequences.  If you decide not to tell your current coach that you're looking around, then you run the risk of them finding out from another coach, parent or player.  Some coaches will take that negatively.  Others might not care.  Also, you shouldn't discount the very real possibility that another parent or player "reports" back to your current coach that your DC was at another club's tryouts in an attempt to curry favor with the coach.  The "politics" of youth soccer can be pretty nauseating sometimes.[/quote]
