Many families are unhappy at a lot of clubs. Just look at this entire thread going back however long. And it is absolutely fair to find a better fit or culture or whatever. That is NOT exactly truthful about what happened here. And you know it.

While a couple of families left with coaching changes, [u]one parent coordinated the departure of several other families (mostly associated with one HS program) to another club and [b]did so in return for recruiting[/b]. [/u]This was well understood. I’m not defending Hustle’s director or how they handled recruiting. But the coordination of families leaving to go to another club, especially when that family (& some of others who left with them) was promoted and given preference for everything was not cool. To the club. To the longtime teammates. That same coach was still reaching out to hustle families just before they disbanded. That may be the politics of it and if that’s how some people choose to operate, fine. But it definitely did not sit well with many. And I happen to agree. [/quote]

This is patently absurd - just because some other clubs do a much better overall job with recruiting support does not mean that there was some sort of quid pro quo for this kid or their family.  Hustel simply underperformed [and lets be honest, they often did more than just underperform, they actively and threateningly used "recruiting" as a way to try and control the kids and their families.] Maybe it is your ptsd talking, but it seems you don't realize or understand that there are clubs and coaches that actually do help significantly with recruiting and do it for the sake of the kids? It certainly works that way at Warhawks, Freedom, Wolves, and Next Level[/quote]
