[quote=Anonymous]We all agree and people are not criticizing the girls on Panthera and its great they have options to explore. In fact its the folks who run Panthera that made this an us vs. them decision. Panthera scheduled their tryout before every other club and when 14 old girls made your team they were given an expiring offer with a manufactured deadline. The coaches were very critical of other clubs and the goal was clear "lock kids up before they have seen other programs".

"No drama and No Politics" well thats not true Panthera injected more pressure on 14 year old girls than any other program. Panthera threatned girls and demanded loyalty to your program. Most 14 year old girls want to tryout for every program and see which one they like the best, Panthera gave them expiering offers and tried to bully kids into going with their timelines.

How is this good for the game or the girls? All it does is put money in the founders pocket. It really not about your club its about the kids. The game you played was high stackes and you lost. Panthera tried to force kids to go with their club instead of encouraging them to look around.

The drama Panthera created for many of these 14 year old girls was unfair. Let kids meet new coaches if your really the best then these girls will want to play for your club and they will be begging to tryout next year. The reality is Panthera  didn't have a lot to offer essentially a brand new club with new coaches at the High School level and zero history on the recruiting circut. Yet you advertised like the club was better than every other club. Girls needed options not arrogance and unfortunately that is what they recieved from Panthera.

Maybe next year Panthera's approach will be different and you will promote whats best about your program and find girls that fit with what your trying to do.

This forum is not read by kids its read by Moms and how girls were treated by the Panthera program was unfortunate. In the end girls had less options and the stress created was not worth the hype.
