[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our experience this year has been terrible. The team treats all the Asian and Black kids badly, and none plan on returning.

We would appreciate some suggestions for DMV clubs that might be better suited, especially for 15U and older teams. There are five kids total, most of whom live in Northern Virginia. Their skill levels range from average to advanced. [/quote]

Where does the current team rank roughly? Top 10, 25th percentile, 50th percentile? That makes a big difference in club opportunities.

No way possible you will keep 5 players together that range from average to advance, and who would want that unless you’re playing for fun and just want to keep a group together.

As said x 2 so much diversity in this area  the better question is the reverse - who to avoid for that reason (poor treatment of minorities). Takes a really honest person to share that publicly tho even if anonymous.

Start with rough estimate of ranking. Look at a few age groups to confirm that holds true then ask for feedback on the short list, look at social media for team pics, etc. Go to clinics and watch. Talk with coaches.

Still doesn’t mean you won’t get a bad apple coach or as some have implied you think you get a bad apple and it’s not really the issue. [/quote]
