[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any stories of similar club agreements that parents have encountered, and how did those pan out? From the outside looking in, it seems like it will be pretty chaotic for the players/teams and parents during this transition. Does this happen a lot in youth sports? [/quote]

Yes. Armour was a “partnership” between SAC and Pipeline. It was a disaster in terms of partnership. On the boys side practices were at Covenant, SAC’s complex, about an hour w/ traffic from Baltimore. Pipeline coaches told players not to go, that their training was as good as Armours and that they’d build a competitive schedule as good as DA. Few Pipeline boys left for Armour. On the girls side Pipeline dominated the coaching staff and Pipelines players would play Pipeline preacademy team and for the DA, created bad feelings for SAC parents as they felt their DD was being treated unfairly (sometimes true, sometimes not) and that Pipeline players were taking minutes but not paying academy fees.

The reality is that if this isn’t a merger, which both clubs have clarified it isn’t, don’t see how it’ll work.[/quote]
