[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us, it is not a question of investment etc. We have been blessed with good jobs and good health, so sports augment what we want our kids to take with them through life. We don't see sports as an end in and of itself  but as an integral part of becoming a complete and good person.
We ( I am OP) no longer think those values are there for the taking with McLean. We have been complicit in supporting the club even when we were wary of what was going on, but this is the breaking point.
In our estimation,  organizations which take money from parents for their children need to be transparent and honest. The favoritism we saw before (our child was a not losing playing time  but it was obvious what was going on) was a concern, but this broke the camel's back. 
You don't make a sweepin announcement like this in the middle of a season and have people worrying about having their child displaced,  their coach displaced etc. It is a bad organization.
Again  this is just our perspective  and yes there were sour grapes, but we will just try something else. Best of luck to those who stay. My older kids had a good experience e with McLean, but that was then, this is now

OP I understand your perspective and as someone who lived through other club drama, I get it.  However, you state you don’t want this announced mid season. When would you like the club to make these announcements? In May/June after other club tryouts are done? After MYS families already pay for next year?  Now is when all the clubs are making plans for next year. They have to announce coaching skates, let those coaches hold tryouts and select players. Then players register knowing their coach, league, and teammates for the upcoming year. It’s tryout season and this type of stuff always drops in April/May. It’s uncomfortable those last couple of games of the spring season for sure[/quote]

Great point. At another club we went through a coaching change after tryouts completed and deposits were made. Caused a lot of animosity with families because that’s not what we signed up for. Give them a little credit for getting it out there while families still have time to evaluate options. [/quote]

Well McLean has not announced coaches for the year so they seem to be trying to get everyone on board thinking they will get one of the few "good" ones[/quote]
