[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soccer schedules are always released right before the first game...and if it's a tournament sometimes days before.  Sigh.  Planning ahead for anything is useless.[/quote]

It isn't useless to make plans, just accept that you may miss a soccer game. Heaven forbid. But it is also kinda naive to think you'll have any soccer free weekends in the fall through Thanksgiving.

Make your plans and live with it. Give yourself permission to do so. You are the one paying after all. [/quote]

Yes. you are paying but, are you hurting the team when you miss? [/quote]

100% you are. You are paying but so are the other families. So when you dont show up its affects everyone investment in the team. Theres a difference between an injury/illness or family emergency and a planned weekend trip/event. Dont be selfish your teaching your kids that its ok to skip out on commitments in life.[/quote]

Missing a game is not the end of the world. Missing a game is not "skipping out on commitments in life" either. It is a youth soccer game, one of hundreds at the end of ones youth playing career. Perhaps demanding such absolute commitment at such a young age is being a bit selfish of the team. Wouldn't it be nice if parents were supportive of other parents by respecting the occasional absence for grandmas birthday instead of making them feel guilty with statements like "we sure will miss her/him this weekend in this pivotal NCSL game."
