[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the ideas, they hit on many of the questions we had, but phrased in a nicer way. I had not considered the money grab aspect, but after the parents’ meeting I think it does play a role.

Most of the above questions were asked (not all by us) in the meeting. The answers were pretty vague, confirming the idea is not well thought out and will end up a cluster. It sounds like an outside person was going to start a new team with one of the assistant coaches and try to poach the “better” players off this team. Splitting now seems to be an attempt to keep this “new” team in the club (where money grab part comes into play).

We’ll stick it out, but depending on my daughter’s interest will consider other options for next season. Not in the DMV and the next closest team is over 90 miles away. This team takes a break for little league (they lose field access) and has never regrouped to play in the late summer. [/quote]

Question: is the organization well-regarded in your area? Do many of their teams generally do well? Do they come up with good offseason programs and similar (you mentioned your specific team doesn't play in summer, which suggests these answers might be no). If not - the better players may already be ready to go, especially if it's to another established organization rather than something new.

If half the team was going to start their own thing, that's a lot of overhead. I'd want to be sure the people in charge had any idea HOW much overhead (permits, uniforms, offseason training space, taxes and non-profit status, etc.)[/quote]
