[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please why these ID sessions are taken place so early.  The Spring season just started for most clubs and ID sessions have already taken place.  Many players on our team are talking about how they've received offers for other team etc and it is having an impact on the team.   Those same players are skipping our practices to practice with their new team.

Because if the coach makes you feel special you'll go with them and not tryout elsewhere. Early commitments tie kids down and give programs an IDEA of how many spots they have left to actually fill before tryouts.

Tryouts are a formality next to no one makes a top or second team by just showing up to tryouts. Those spots are filled already.[/quote]these are the facts.  Unspoken facts if ur kid is a top player u get the bonus of telling coaches who not to pick…. Only the top players get to vote.[/quote]

Players have been to blackball kids they know could take their spot or reduce their playing time and you will get the cliques. Players should never be involved in those decisions. [/quote]

How do other kids blackball other kids? I mean a kid’s skills show up in practice and games. [/quote]that poster is partly right.  Normally parents also have fingers n mouths in the blackballing.  The cliques play themselves out on the field in the form of icing players and not passing. Good coaches
Course corrext… bad coaches let it play out and the strong eat the weak. Sometimes its not about playing time. Some kids are headcases or their parents are sideline drama which overshadows the kids god given talent. If top tier players say were not playing w X if u bring em… and parents paid dues up front. Coaches know parents can leave… lose 4 for 1? That will never happen. And coaches talk to their teams and other coaches to confirm the headaches.

No different from office drama leverage is leverage. And not every decision is black and white.

Welcome to behind the scenes… jealousy also plays into it.

Imo also agree they should get time off merit and practice.  If ur kid is a strong willed independent thinker who speaks up to the coach they will WILL and out play their way to being s starter at ur club or another. If they as the kids say have that dog or wolf in em they will break through the cliques.

And a real club will put a winning record over clicks and forcing squares in circles. Bottom line the blackballs do happen but it seem imo to be a bit more complex than just mean kids being mean.

And this plays out all the way to the adult leagues lol.

Now
