[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many are using these tactics to teach their kid how to be a quitter. 
Cut & Run instead of dealing with and overcoming some short term adversity.

I’m sure this is true to some degree. However, looking back over a combined 14 years of travel soccer experience with our two kids, I can tell you for certain that there are times when a change is warranted entirely for reasons outside of your or your child’s control.  Think politics, toxic environment, etc. We’d like to think that the “real world” doesn’t seep into youth sports but it does, unfortunately. [/quote]

Can't protect your kid from the real world, nor should we want to. That's a disservice to them.

Yes, I'm sure there are true extremes and extenuating circumstances that may require a mid-season move, but we all know most don't need that much to jump ship.

Do you tell someone to stay at a toxic job that's a horrible fit because they took a job offer and committed to working there because it hurts the team? Not unless you're an idiot. Finding your club/team choice is a horrible fit happens and the majority I've heard from that have switched midyear don't regret it at all.

Acting like a child should be held to adult standards or that making them miserable somehow makes them better adults is the more detrimental than swapping teams between seasons.[/quote]

I agree with this completely. Leave with as little drama as possible and do what is best for your child. [/quote]
