[quote=Anonymous]I have noticed throughout my kids sports, a common topic that parents ridicule is when a family decides to move their child to a different club. It is apparently seen as "letter chasing" or "leaving because they werent getting playing time rather than working on improving".

We are looking to move to play with a new coach who sees alot of potential in our child. This is at a neighboring soccer club at the same level. I dont see why we would stay with a club/coach who thinks our child is no good at the sport, and benches them for long stretches of the game (this is our 4th season with the club). How is that fun for our child?

And to say that our child just isnt good enough - we have all seen teams that are full of coach's friends and their kids who undeservingly get all the playing time and best positions.

It also seems odd that just because a parent chose 'Club A' when their child was 8 years old - they are now expected to remain there for the next decade? I also dont see the logic in convincing our child to work even harder - just to help a coach and players who take them for granted win more games.

Am I missing something before we make the switch?
