[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are coaches actually supportive when players asked to move up levels and off a lower level team? If moves all within same club, seems coaches would be working with each other and could be happy for the player-the lower coach could take credit for improving the player so they could move up, but seems more coaches are not supportive and outright annoyed when happens. Curious if this is universal or just club we are at?[/quote]
I think animosity when a player leaves a club to move to another more competitive club is pretty common, but we haven’t seen it as much when a player moves up to a higher team within the same club, but it definitely happens. An instance I remember from a few years ago related to the 1s team at a big local club that had several players unexpectedly not accept offers and decide to play for other clubs late in the tryouts/offer process. In order to get players for their team the 1s coach then made offers to a significant number of players that had accepted offers to play on the 2s team which left the 2s coach in a tough spot having to go back into the pool of girls who tried out late in the tryout period to try to find players for certain positions.

I understand why that 2s coach was frustrated, but it should never have been directed at the players. As you point out, they should be happy that players are getting a chance to play on a better team. [/quote]
