[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have toyed with the idea of moving our kid to a different club for spring. When I brought it up to a couple veteran soccer parents (we are new in travel soccer) we were told the club won't release the player cards for them to play on another team. We are now hesitant on asking the coach or tell them we are thinking about leaving because they will most likely take it out on the kid.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom on doing something like this?  [/quote]

Finish your commitment unless its an environment that is flat out dangerous for your child.  Use it as a lesson for your search in a new club.

If you do choose to switch clubs, there can be issues with carding and you'll end up having to fulfill your financial commitment to the current club in order to transfer that to the new one.[/quote]

We do not mind forfeiting the money we have already paid.

We aren't changing because of a dangerous environment. Zero winter season, parents are expected to pay the coaches privately for lessons, we have not communicated or seen our coach in months, we have tournaments coming up in march we aren't ready for, it seems they have set up the team to do their worst.  Fall season started to show some red flags but we powered through and now my kid is bored and hasn't  even touched a field with teamates in months We try and take them to the field a couple times a week. Finding a free goal to use after school is hard work sometimes and we drive to several fields. My kid does their own drills in our side yard most days. I would hope moving them to a team that has a present coach would get them excited again. They personally have asked to look at new clubs because they want to get field time with someone giving them direction. While we can look up drills and have apps we are not professional coaches.

Sounds like most the issues you had are now past. Spring season is about to get going and changing clubs right now isn't going to better prepare your kid for the upcoming season. If the winter downtime wasn't something communicated up front, consider that a lesson learned for next time. I would spend these next couple months leading into tryouts to do your homework and make sure you make the best choice moving forward.[/quote]

So we did communicate with the coach prior to joining and he sold us on what he said and once he had our money he turned around and did the opposite. We were told the team would have an off season. Futsal league, indoor soccer, practice, player evaluations and nothing ever happened. [/quote]
