[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exiting in the middle of the season is pretty rare. Joining another club mid-season is very rare. It does happen but out of the thousands of players in the region it is a very small number. If you are a decent player on an above average or good team and you want to compete at that level again your players' (and your) reputation matters. Coaches at that level do more homework on players before they make offers and most coaches steer away from players that quit teams mid-season unless you have a very good explanation.

Be careful on how you exit.  If you are creating tons of drama yourself or complaining vocally to the other parents you are likely to burn the bridge not just with the club you are leaving but with the other clubs in the same area. I'd also be careful about naming the club you are talking about in public forums like this one, it won't be anonymous and a simple search of club rosters across tournaments or the club website can expose the specific player who left.  Remember your posts and the replies will be online forever. Check this board for other posts on how team rosters can be used to track players across clubs.

Regarding ramifications, if you do leave the team, be aware that talking to other clubs or coaches before you do it is against CHRVA rules and could subject the club and you to sanctions. Clubs and coaches aren't allowed to talk to other clubs players about coming to their teams during a club season. If you switch do it right. Tell your existing club you are leaving and have them release you from your contract.  They need to contact CHRVA and have you removed from their club. Once they do, then talk to other clubs.  If you do it the other way you open the new club and yourself up to a set of potentially tough conversations and word will definitely spread.  Always assume that others will hear the worst parts of your story.

None of this means you shouldn't leave a situation you aren't comfortable with. Just plan ahead on the process. Leaving a club that you don't like usually creates a lot of emotions. Don't create a bigger problem than you already have. If your DD wants to play somewhere else next season (or this season) how you exit will be part of your DD history.  Every club has players that leave due to club fit, drama, etc. You just want to blend in with those moves and everything will be OK.
