[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If parents would commit to a club without shopping their kid around every year, the process would be a lot less intense

We all know open tryouts aren't really open tryouts, yet a lot of parents seem to treat them as such and get caught up in the whole thing.  It's a game on both sides.[/quote]

Parents are paying $3 k a year per kid.  With multiple kids, it really adds up.  If they don't like the training, etc. of course they will shop around.  We shop around for things that cost a whole lot less than 3 kids playing travel soccer.  Also, coaches change/move and sometimes you don't like what you end up with.  Maybe there isn't chemistry with a team, etc.  Sometimes the team moves into a league with too much travel, etc.  The worst is you pay all this $$ before you actually know who will be coaching your kid.

Not just $$...let's be clear it's time too.  People are spending hours/days per week/weekends---they better be happy.[/quote]
