[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please remember you are a paying customer.  You are paying the club to develop your player.  If your son or daughter is not getting close to 50% game time, you absolutely have the right to bring it to the AGC and/or TD.[/quote]

If they offered your player a spot on their ECNL team and took your money, they have an obligation to develop them.

The horrible thing is you are really in a worse position than if your son had a contract at professional club.  There he would be viewed as an asset and if showed any potential, the club would get him playing time somewhere if he was not ready for first team - reserve team, loan, lower level league etc. .  There are people actively managing those situations.  If he starts showing well on that team then there is a path back to the first team.

At some of these ECNL clubs, they will just write off the players they don't see contributing to winning now and some coaches just don't want to be bothered with those players.  They want to have the big rosters for the money, but several do not have any decent reserve or second team situation to get players good minutes if they are not playing on the first team.  In many cases these bench players also receive no support from the coaches and club and feel marginalized.  [/quote]
