[quote=Anonymous] DC plays on a team with a professional coach. Very clear play time and team is based on the best players and who work the hardest in practice or perform best in try outs. This is made clear to everyone when they try out and before fees are paid. Try outs are run by head coach who brings in other outside coaches to evaluate the players at tryouts. Kids have absolutely zero guarantee they will make the team regardless of current status. DC works her tail off all season and has to prepare to make the team again each year. There are shake-ups every year.  So much better than dealing with the politics of a parent run coaching league.  Youngest DC plays in a combined professional and parent volunteer coaching league. Same thing. They hold try- outs with director of program and professional coaches who act as outside evaluators at try outs.  Rosters are formed and only then are parent coaches assigned to teams. Best players and teams get the professional coaches. Other teams get the parent coaches. Parent coaches understand there is no guarantee kid makes the team and they do not know what team kid makes until after tryouts, just like everyone else.  I refuse to allow DC to play in any other type of league. The rest are politics and bs and everyone knows that. We refuse to be part of such a system.  In my experience, parents are the ones literally killing youth sports. The less involved we are in making any decisions the better.
