[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she will attend the other tryouts as it is good practice anyway.  We might go ahead and accept and see what else materializes.  We realize this is a financial risk, but we don't want to walk away from this offer.[/quote]

This doesn't seem like the best approach for several reasons.

1. you already mention it will be a financial risk;
2. you would be taking a potential spot away from someone who may want to play for this club by basically just holding your spot; and
3. this would not be a good look to accept an offer only to then walk away at your convenience.

A better approach may be to ask if your daughter can have more time to make her decision. Hopefully the club will understand and provide additional time. If not, make your decision and don't look back.

The fact you are considering attending other tryouts seems to suggest you are not sold on the club that extended an offer and may be looking for greener pastures. If so, just move on from the offer for the reasons noted above.[/quote]

It is a person's prerogative as to how they want to spend their money.  The PP did not have the opportunity to tryout and get responses from other teams before the deadline.  The PP is probably worried her DD will have no other options.  This is insurance for PP, who probably can afford it.  As another poster mentioned, most clubs require a quick response.  It's not an ideal situation, but money can buy anything, including options.[/quote]
