[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bishop OC had like 10 transfers come in this year. It might of bumped some kids out of the program. It's hard sustain recruiting 8th graders if you are just bringing in transfers to take their spots.[/quote]

+1.  Many current parents NOT happy.  They supported the program for two years only to have their kids recruited over by junior transfers out of the travel program run by the coach.  So not cool. [/quote]

I don't mean to come off insensitive with this post but my kids have gone through this process and I think this advice needs to be heard.  Players and families need to understand that at the WCAC High School Varsity level, the Coaches job is to put the best team on the field every year and to win games.  Players need to take the position that they are replaceable and the coach is always looking for better players that will help him/her win.  It could be that the kid who is already in the program continues to develop into the better player or they can find someone outside the program who is better.  The transfer route is certainly a much quicker and easier option for a coach.  And it only gets worse with every level that a player moves up.  There are no guarantees for playing time.  There is very little loyalty.  The sooner you can get your arms around that fact, the better off your player is going to be moving forward.  If you want to play this game at a high level, you need to learn to focus on your own development and providing tangible value to a team.  If you perform and you are a good teammate, you make yourself harder to replace.  But don't believe for a minute that they aren't trying.[/quote]

Yes AND if your kid doesn't play for Primetime they are at a disadvantage at DJO. [/quote]

Too bad not all PT players even made it to DJO baseball this year. I would be very upset that they brought in transfers too. Isn't that why people pay for primetime? [/quote]

There's supposed to be a separation of Primetime and DJO or Primetime and Yorktown.  Parents should start to question, loudly, if that is actually happening.[/quote]
