[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Exactly...some things are unavoidable and can't be planned around, but we committed to a team and I don't think it's right to plan something when you know there will be a game.  Now, if you are U little and/or not on a serious team that's one thing, but if you are committed to a better team that wants to compete you should commit.  We have a family that always made vacation plans in the spring and the fall like two weeks before schedules come out.  The husband was against planning trips like that, but the wife "wanted to live her life".  Last season they missed a tournament and 2 weekend league games to go to the beach for the weekend twice.  The weekend they missed two games we had a bye the next weekend that they could have planned the trip for.  We play with a lower number of players to give them more playing time, but that sucks when a kid or two don't show.  The coach had a conversation with the one family after the season and they left the team after spring.[/quote]

things happen, especially when you get into time periods where different sports seasons overlap. Once the majority of parents on a team realize that the world won't end if a has a basketball tournament or a swim meet or a lax game everything is fine [/quote]L

Pick a team DBag.. Schools dont overlap classes, neither should sports. learn the rules. When you sign up there are a set of expectations no suggestions. [/quote]

how about no. DD doesn't want to pick a sport yet and she's good enough to her coaches aren't forcing the issue. [/quote]
