[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An assertion was made at our club that "they extend DA offers to new players rather than promote from their own team 2 as they want to bring more players into the club (and thus more money)."

In the case of our club team, that certainly seemed to be the case, with 4 new players joining and no one from the team 2 getting promoted, but I was just curious how are internal promotions handled at your DA? Is there a pathway with your club to the higher levels?[/quote]

No matter the club, cough FCV cough, this does not work out. The "slighted" player always leaves the club. There is nothing wrong with bringing in outside players but they need to be demonstratively better than the ones they are bumping down or out. Players and parents can accept it if the player is clearly better but if they are pretty much just the same that is when folks, rightfully, get pissed off. [/quote]

No, not "rightfully".
The DA is supposed to be cutthroat...that's what it's all about. 
If they recruit someone from outside the team instead of promoting your kid, it's because they think he's better. Period. They owe nothing to the players or kids, and yes, you owe nothing to them. 
If you don't like that, play rec. [/quote]

Because after all:

Mercy is for the week, and we do not train to be merciful...

Right, sensei?[/quote]
