[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did it, but our Club contract stipulates if it's done before August you only lose the initial deposit (for us $395).  They won't keep you on the hook for the entire year $ or hold up a player card (which hasn't even been created yet).[/quote]

Yeah, expect to lose the deposit you've already made, but you won't be on the hook for the rest of it.  The club can easily recoup its lost revenue through many different ways, such as by bumping up a lower team player and filling that lower team slot with another player who wants to sign up.  In fact, unless there's some sort of liquidated damages clause in the contract (and likely even then) the club has an obligation to mitigate damages, such as by accepting applications for players who want to join late, etc.

While some might criticize this as sharp practice on behalf of the player, I agree that this problem is the fault of the clubs all staggering their tryouts at different times, giving parents very little time to make a decision, and not releasing all the details (e.g. practice schedules/locations) ahead of time.  So don't feel bad for the clubs.[/quote]
