[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 10:35 - this particular team is a rec team, so theoretically these families haven't signed anything saying we are their first priority.  So we can't really do anything.

We did have one family drop the team after one season - their daughter literally missed half of the games (after they badgered us to get on the roster) and I think they decided it was too much of a commitment and they were pissing us off.  (They were right.  We were annoyed.)  If you're taking up a roster spot on a team and we turned down other kids so you could play with us, you do need to respect the commitment.

We were on a travel team, and one girl missed nearly every tournament (holiday weekend) because her family liked to travel on holidays.  That bugged me. We were short every tournament because they either didn't read the fine print in the contract they signed, or they just didn't care.

The church thing annoys me because Sunday games are pretty infrequent and I feel like your God will probably understand if you miss church twice a year for soccer.  And these weren't Sunday morning games - these were well into the afternoon.  Go to an earlier service, for Pete's sake.  :-)[/quote]

Missing church for soccer is a case of putting the cart before the horse.  I can quite confidently NONE of our children will be soccer superstars, but they can grow up to be adults that can prioritize those events that are important.  It is the people that don't want to miss out on anything that I often find can't give any one activity their full attention.[/quote]
