[quote=Anonymous]Sorry to hear about that, that can be frustrating. We went through something similar last year.  We trained with another team in the fall and was offered a spot on their 2nd team.  My kid didn't really want to switch at that time and didn't try all that hard at the other team's practice.  We stayed with our club last year and I feel like we wasted almost 9 months of training with them.  I feel like my kid fell even further behind by staying with the old club longer than we should have.

I wanted it to be their decision instead of mine.  We waited until spring tryouts and we made it onto another club.  I do look back and wonder if I should have pushed my kid to switch sooner, against their wishes.

I will say, that it is not too late to switch.  Reach back out to the Coach and see what kind of fee they will charge and offer you the top spot back?  Then, write your club and let them know you've decided to switch.

We are very sad to leave our old teammates and families, but not sad to leave the 'basic let's scrimmage again' training environment.   With the new team, the players and families are more dedicated, so thats been better.   The coaching has improved also.  But the most helpful thing is that my kid is getting better practicing with kids who are motivated to practice and try hard. My kid has learned more from them than the new coach at this point.

After the decision is final, let your current coach and team manager know, so they can give your player a proper send off.  (A classy team should wish them well at the last practice.)  But if they give you the cold shoulder, good riddance as your kid deserve better and there are too many clubs in this area to be petty.
