[quote=Anonymous]It is a game and your child should be happy. If they are not enjoying their situation and have tried to ask their coaches, etc. for the help to fix it (if an issue that could be fixed) then moving mid-year is fine by me. It needs to be for the child and not the parent though! I had a child at u15 that had this same issue. She felt that she was not getting developed any further and had passed the skill level of the team. Other more elite teams in the area agreed and wanted her after practicing with them. We made her set up a meeting with the Director of the club and have a conversation about her goals, what was missing and why she was deciding to move. I was in the room with them but my DD did all the talking. This was a big life lesson - how to properly handle what she wants, discuss those needs and share why she was making a decision to leave with the club Director face-to-face. Made a world of difference in the transition, the Director respected her approach to come talk to him on the decision etc. She learned to have a tough conversation and to support her goals and desires - much like she will her career later in life.
