[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you do not like playing time why not find a new team at a level you’re kid can start and play at [/quote]

As long as the club will release the player and their money you are good to go. It’s that last part that throws up a roadblock.  Sure your kid is playing 15 mins or so a game but if we release them and let you sign up with another club we don’t want to give you any portion of your money back because we budgeted based on keeping those funds. In short we put your kid on the team to get your money.  If the club gives the money back (or a proportionate figure) and releases the kid then fine.

Why should a 13 year have to wait half a year to play?

Now, in reality, most clubs and coaches are good about playing time so if you really have an ongoing playing time issue talk about it and if not corrected, leave.  Let me say that no club wants parents of kids who do not start to get the idea that they should walk.  And, it only takes one kid before a wildfire of defections can set in.  Clubs want to keep paying customers happy.

Finally most directors also understand that kids develop at different paces.  It is really stupid to focus on kids who are good at 10 and may be all done by the time they are 15, and the star 15 year old may be average at 18.  Keep options open and paying customers happy.
