[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vienna Elite just announced a new “gray team” for 15/16s who want to play a step above rec but who didn’t make any travel club teams. Tryouts are tomorrow. There will be “rotating coaches” and 9 girls age 15 and 9 girls age 16. All will practice together.

Not sure what to think of this. [/quote]

That’s actually very creative and a great way for your DD to have a team, gain experience and skills, and yes—a money grab if sorts BUT it’s better than being without a team, so I’d prob give it a try[/quote]

I think of money grab as something a bit different.

When Tae Kwon Do schools have a belt test every month where you get a mini stripe on your belt and you need three stripes to go from white to yellow. That's a money grab.
Opening up a 7PM TKD class that will be taught by whoever happens to be available that evening because all the other sessions are full seems like they are just trying to meet demand.

When a travel team requires you to buy a membership to the coach's batting facility, that seems like a money grab.
When the travel team forms another team because 50 kids showed up to tryouts and you could only take 4, that seems like you are meeting demand.

This feels a lot more like "meeting demand" than a money grab.[/quote]
