[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am still trying to understand the reasons people give for backing out, that makes clubs ok with it and not make them pay the rest of the year. And how common this truly is? It seems like such a jerk move. I really wish these contracts just had a non-refundable deposit. I am very worried we might end up locked into a bad situation just because that offer came so early compared to others. It felt risky to pass it up, now it feels risky to take it over a more predictable situation. Ugh![/quote]

We have honored our commitments even when the situation wasn’t a positive one with two exceptions that were real outliers. The first was that our son was on a team at a small club that had completely fallen apart. He registered for the new year but we had concerns if they had enough strong players to replace those who had left. He was a starter on the A team and they ended up collapsing the A and B teams. We spoke to the TD and openly expressed concerns and he was released. The TD was a really good and ethical guy and knew that DS had a much better opportunity.  He didn’t charge the remaining payments though we expected to be on the hook. The second was a a really bad situation where we felt the club was deceitful. We demanded to be let out of the contract as they had clearly breached it. It was an awful situation and since DS was in the midst of recruiting and they weren’t playing in showcases he knew he couldn’t stick it out. We would never have accepted a spot for any team with the expectation that we would back out if a better offer came along. You are taking a spot from a player who wants it and it puts the team at a disadvantage to have to find a late replacement. I’m not concerned for clubs that screw players over all the time but I’m concerned for the other players on the roster who are left with a weakened team. [/quote]
