[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ill ask the real question. McLean GA has an ID session tomorrow, SYC had some tonight and more on Tuesday. If my player wants to play full GA (or ECNL), do I send her and what are the consequences with her current Coach?[/quote]

You're a bit late for SYC...but if you are going to go, attending a tryout (or ID session session, whatever you want to call it) in the cold, then it will be a good reality check to see if your DD has a chance against the talent that is there.  And unless your kid really shines in the 1st 15 minutes, be prepared to receive a 2nd team offer.  Unless the team has some big openings, its really hard to break in unless your kid has some amazing talent the team really needs.  That aside....

It depends on your current Coach.  They likely won't be too thrilled at finding out your DD is trying out for another team.  Honestly, if you can't tell if your club is in support of this, I would keep it a secret and tell your kid to keep it a secret.  My kid told a teammates last year, and word spread like wildfire.  The Coach knew by the next practice and had a hard time looking us in the eye.  My DD defiantly saw a reduction in playing time.  In the fall she was a starter, in the spring she was not a starter as often and was subbed out more often.  And there was not a formal 'good buy, good luck and we wish you well' from the coach.  But another coach was indeed happy for my kid. So, it depends on the coach.

Also, it saddens the other parents and kids too.... so keep it secret as long as possible if you can.  I had another dad almost in tears because his older DD made and ECNL team and he felt bad, like a traitor.  -Best move they could have done as our club had neither program at the time.   [/quote]
It's virtually impossible to keep it a secret when so many of the players and parents know each other. Assume it won't be a secret and be open and honest. You don't need to announce it but make sure your player knows how to handle the questions.

Also realize that the coaches at the different clubs talk to each other.  So even if your DD doesn't say anything, the SYC coach may tell your child's coach.  [/quote][/quote]
