[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all, I love that this thread is threatening to get to 200 pages. Just glorious.

Second, what do you mean when you say “parents have XX coach in their pocket”? If all the McLean parents have this coach in pocket, then do all their kids get minutes? But if that’s the case, then do any of them really have a difference in influence? Are they paying him under the table? Like, passion g over envelopes of cash? Because I have never seen anything like that. I have most definitely seen coaches who have favorites, including playing kids who are struggling far longer than they should, instead of giving other kids a chance. But in most cases, you could kind of see some reason why (kid was tall/fast/good attitude/gritty).[/quote]
The usual way parents pay coaches is via privates.

The usual way parents pay clubs is via camps.

This is all on top of regular club fees.[/quote]

Yep, the "private coaching" thing is pretty much just a conduit for pay-for-play spots on higher teams, especially at younger levels. It runs rampant at McLean, Arlington for sure. Pretty gross.[/quote]
