[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate kids sports - this stuff is just so ridiculous. Our kids’ travel team would cut kids just to keep the other kids working hard - we’re talking 10-11 year olds here ( hi Karen!). Good thing you’re paying for this kind of treatment, right?[/quote]

This is so true! At our former team, the as..le coach invited to his upper sessions some kids and didn’t move mine just because we didn’t pay long enough for his “clinics” and didn’t fit socially with other gossiping parents who self-segregated. I couldn’t even talk to anybody for 2 years, was so disgusted! My kid had superior results and continued to improve better even while being at a lower group. It’s a sport where individual results are all published, very talent-dependent no matter what coach does, so I knew for certain. It will take a write a book to describe the ass..le “stars” behavior. We switched as soon as my kid was offered placement by merits elsewhere. I said I wasn’t paying a single cent for that s..t anymore. 
But interesingly, the strongest kids from former club were nicest and they still cheer for each other at competitions, even though we are on a different team now. [/quote]
