Every team my son was given an offer - we had to accept and then make payment within 24 hours.[/quote]
if a club makes you pay within 24 hours or won't give you an extension then they care more about the money than the player. Not worth the pain at that age.[/quote]

okay good luck being a club director without asking players for a commitment after tryouts, "yeah, you can let us know next month sometime if you get to it. Nevermind that the kids we didn't invite are probably looking somewhere else right now, and that we have to pay for fields and tournaments and jerseys and make sure we have enough coaches." Do your research before trying out for the club if the time limit to accept bothers you, talk to the director and other players that you might know. It's a standard for every clubs they have to do it that way or they wont have teams, and kids will be left out to dry for committing within a reasonable time frame. [/quote]

We tried out for Bethesda and I was not thrilled that we were expected commit pretty much immediately, when they clearly know that other clubs have tryouts and give decisions later in the weekend.  I realize that's just how it is, but it seems kind of sleazy to me.  Another club is giving several days to decide, which makes much more sense. The other thing that is annoying, Bethesda does not let parents know practice locations or days before they must commit, which is also kind of suspect.[/quote]
