[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Families value different things and have different goals for their kids. Fine. Parents (and I’ve seen this play out with each of my three DCs playing three different travel sports) often become convinced there’s something “better” for their kid and then obsess about everything that isn’t perfect with the existing team. These are the same parents who put the value of team chemistry at the bottom of their list so when they have an opportunity to jump to a team/coach that they perceive is “better,” they don’t think twice about what happens to the kids/families they are leaving behind. We are competitive people, but we’ve always prioritized the team dynamics aspect because we spend SO much time together. The other kids and coaches play a huge role in shaping who our DCs become as humans and players. The parents are people we spend whole weekends with. Skill development is important of course (and we do a lot of that on our own to supplement), but, at the end of the day  we need to be comfortable with the character of the people with whom we spend most of our time: our team.

You are missing clubs that create a toxic environment for some (maybe all) of the players. People will leave for this, and those who stay may be offended because they didn’t think their was a problem. [/quote]
