[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]IMO you are better off not responding at all then accepting and then backing out.  When you accept, you automatically deny another kid a spot - and the clubs take it very seriously, many will consider it a burned bridge - some even take it as far as the entire family since it's the parents who are making the final decisions about things[/b]

If you simply don't respond to an acceptance, eventually you will be contacted - it depends on if the roster is basically full and you're the last person to go on, they probably won't press too hard.  But if you're occupying a key slot and they are afraid of losing their alternate if you decline, expect some pressure because they need to extend an offer to the alternate if you're declininc

Once you commit, you commit.  It's ok to express your concerns about not committing (practice logistics, a chance for a better league, etc) - but don't back out once you've said yes.

That is completely asshole-ish.  It takes them 2 seconds to fill the slot of kids that end up changing their mind.  This is about EGOS.  There are a host of family reasons that have nothing to do with these stupid clubs.  Sometimes it's you want siblings in same place.  Sometimes you aren't sure if you will be able to hack the commute.  Sometimes you tryout a few places and like the style of one place better by the tryout sessions are weeks apart.  If you are talking about an upper age group A team---it makes a little more sense.  But--anything below U13-come on---give me a break.  I would not want to be part of any Club that penalize players for that crap.[/quote]
