[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents...i'm here to pump you up.  Claim what is rightfully yours and take back tryout season!  Don't let these clubs have power over you...visit as many clubs as you want!  You are a customer and can test drive as many clubs as there are hours in a day.  Go visit some practices!  Go talk to some coaches!  Stop being used...you can do it.

We need to stand up to these businesses and organizations that are making money off of us and then making us feel guilty if we don't keep spending money with them.  Have a backbone![/quote]I feel like every year it is emotional when trying out with many clubs and fairly exhausting on the kid. Also, don’t you want them to play with a coach and team they genuinely like? [b]What’s the value in trying out as much as possible?[/b] I think a team or two per year for experience is useful and doesn’t always have to be with the seasonal team for experience. However running all over town to tryout has never resonated with me. I get this isn’t your point but felt compelled to respond. [/quote]

1) Leverage - would you prefer to wait for the club to choose your child or would you like your child to have options and choose your target clubs on the best possible terms for your family?  Have you ever requested an addendum to your contract for terms important to you and your family?

2) Exposure - meeting different kids and different coaches exposes you to different practices, policies and overall information not available until you are in the building.

or just keep doing what you are doing and complaining when the club does something that doesn’t work for you and your family.  Either way, you’ll be right in whichever way you choose.[/quote]Yeah but we are happy. Love club and coach and playing at a high level. We are fairly confident we will have the same coach next year and not concerned with getting dropped. For item 1) I definitely get it and we switched last year. The process was exhausting and stressful for all of us. For younger kids, I think it can take a greater toll as most, especially girls, want to play with friends. [/quote]

Thanks 10 parent. When you end up with MV next year don’t act like you weren’t warned. [/quote]
