[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am giggly at the thought of some loser black-balling a kid.  All hail--the almighty youth soccer coach.  Adults with advanced degrees really worry about this shit?  Oh no--coach denied us now will never make a FIFA first team or play for that shitty soccer college.  In the big picture, does it really matter?[/quote]

When you put it that way, it sounds stupid.

But let's put it another way ...

Suppose you have enough commitments to field two teams. Then five of your players bail.

Would you be pissed off? Would other parents be pissed off if the club could no longer field two teams?

If we're talking Arlington or Loudoun or McLean or Vienna or some other club that would just call No. 45 on the list to take No. 23's spot, sure, it's not a big deal. At other clubs, a couple of parents shopping around can create a lot of chaos.

I wish I had a solution short of forcing every travel club to make its offers on the same day.[/quote]

It is all a stupid game.  Some try to grab everyone up by holding them at the earliest possible dates and forcing a commitment.

The whole idea of spending more than 1/2 of every spring season on tryouts is dumb.[/quote]
