[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can parents be to blame?  All the parents I know just want a decent coach and communication.  Seems to me that these organizations are in it for the cash.  Tryouts?  Be honest you will never recommend rec when there is money to be made.  Tryouts are for A teams and we will take everyone else's money for the B team.  Matter of fact we will charge B team parents more to subsidize the A team.  [/quote]

Curious what you mean by "communication".  I see that term a lot when parents talk about their clubs.  Do you want a detailed email after practice with information on what they worked on? Game recaps? Individual player kudos?  Most of the travel coaches we have had work full time jobs in addition to coaching.  They communicate with players at practice and games.  If a player wants feedback, etc they should reach out individually to the coach.  At a rec level like Bethesda where there are parent coaches I get that it's more touchy feely but surely that's not what you want at the club level?!  At that high level the communication should be between the coach and the player, not coach and parents.  Besides game schedules and practice times what are you looking for?  All I need to know is where my DD needs to be and when.

And what club is charging more for B teams than A teams???  FWIW, my daughter's friend tried out for one of the top travel clubs and was not offered a spot and recommended rec for a year so it does happen.  She had previously played so was not a newbie to lax.[/quote]

How about letting us know in advance if practice is canceled or there is a change in coaches, etc.  [/quote]
