[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In *private* HS, apparently donor kids get the leg up. In public high schools, kids with difficult parents who complain all the time get the leg up (very toxic).[/quote]

Anywhere you go, the kid who TRAINS PRIVATELY with the coach gets the leg up.  Sickening.[/quote]

Coaches would probably argue that shows the kid has a passion for the sport, no?[/quote]

Of course, coaches would argue that. They have vested interest in maintaining the private training pipeline since most of them are selling private training.

What it shows is which kids gave parents with cash.

PP here. I'm just pointing out that this is not an argument that anyone but the coach is going to win. Doesn't make it right, but there's juuuuust enough gray here.[/quote]

There’s really no gray here at all PP. it’s a conflict of interest and immoral[/quote]

With the enormous increases in Tommy John surgeries for baseball and ACL tears for soccer (especially girls), someday someone is going to start taking a harder look at what is expected to make a varsity team and how kids are exploited for money by these Coach/trainers.

[b]We were really angry to learn that timed running was supposed to be prohibited during tryouts (given health concerns)[/b], but guess what, soccer coaches at our school did it anyways.[/quote]

Curious what this means.  Is this due to conducting this kind of tryout in the August heat?[/quote]
