[quote=Anonymous]If you’re in the DC area, there is a team for you. Last summer, long after tryouts, my kid’s club cut his whole team (the B team for his age group)—they lost some coaches, so cut three whole teams from different age groups. That meant that there were a lot of us parents out there scrambling, so we found every team that practiced within about a 30 minute radius, and my kid tried out with three of them and I had one more tryout lined up but cancelled because we found the right club for us. These were all clubs I hadn’t heard of until I was forced to look, mostly from clicking every link on the NCSL website. (Not helpful if you’re not in DC, but you can still figure out what league travel teams near you play in and contact all the teams near you.) The happy ending for us is that my kid is now in a club where he fits much better, the coaching is stronger, and I like the parent community more. His team getting cut was such an unexpected blessing. [/quote]
