[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused about something that happened. Big club with four teams, child coming from a house league. We received an automated "congratulations" email invitation to accept a spot on Team #3. We declined right away. Then, the next day, we received an automated email invitation for Team #2. Never spoke with any coaches or received any emails, explanations, etc. What is going on here?[/quote]

They want your $ and saw you didn’t bite for the third team and somebody else probably declined 2nd team.  One year they screwed my kid over and took a couple of bench warmers with loud mouth parents on next up and we declined so they scrambled and offered him a spot too.  We declined that too because it said how they do business and kid wasn’t top choice.  He went to a better team.[/quote]

This happens especially if the numbers are close for forming the final team. We told a club that we didn't think a low team was worth the price they were charging and they upped the offer to the higher team. It was a small club that really needed people to take offers to have enough kids to field two teams. [/quote]

But in pp's story, there are 4 existing teams, they declined 3 and were offered 2.[/quote]

That means that someone else was probably offered 3. If they want to field 4 teams, they need enough kids to field the fourth team. At least at our club that means they need to make sure that most of the kids who show up to try outs end up as paying customers. [/quote]
