[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best is when the age group coordinator or TD tells parents they will reward loyalty as a precaution to be proactive with parents. Don't fall for it. Smile, be polite, know they are full of shit and email the other club's coach well in advance of tryouts, take your kid to the practice. You won't regret it.[/quote]

Exactly.

Being loyal to your kid, however, has to take into account where they feel comfortable playing. If they like a coach, or a team--even if that looks like misplaced "loyalty"--then all that matters for your kid feeling happy when they play.

Unless your kid really has a shot at d1/strong d2 college or pro, and I'm going to be really blunt here: your kid likely doesn't, screw club loyalty, give your kid options, and then let them pick. It's about love of sport and development. That's what gives the best shot at playing next level anyway.
