[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any kid who no-shows for the rest of the season after being cut/demoted deserves to be cut/demoted.  The ones hurt the most by that decision aren’t the club or the coach, it’s the teammates who had absolutely nothing to do with the decision.[/quote]

On the flip side, the kid can choose to move on and know it early, do the right thing and tell the coach/club so that the club can make the appropriate choices for other players.  And then be screwed/not played/travel and spend $$ for no reason out of spite....  I know, it happened to my DD when she knew in April that she was leaving a team a few years ago and told the coach.  Then she rode the bench.  Despite the fact that the reason she was leaving was to move to a higher level of play.  It goes both ways -- if the demoted player is supposed to be loyal to the club and the teammates, then the club needs to return the courtesy.[/quote]

What did the teammates have to do with the coach’s decision here?  The whole point of the previous post is that the other kids on the team have no say in other kids’ team placement, so if your kid is going to retaliate in a way that primarily hurts the other kids, they’re not a good teammate.[/quote]

If the kid does not want to play it is okay. Maybe someone else on the bench gets more minutes. The teammate and the team are not screwed. Grow up. [/quote]

Then I guess kid was disposable and deserved to be cut.  See how that works?  If your absence doesn’t hurt the team, then there’s no reason to keep you.[/quote]

Not always. Both our keepers were cut and replaced by a shiny new snowflake. They could decide to be a$$hats and not show up or do the right thing. If they don’t show, there is literally no one with any experience who could fill for the tournaments they have scheduled.  It isn’t always that other kids can jump right in - it depends on level and position. [/quote]
