[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, here’s a different etiquette question: do you all ask parents of teammates whether their kids plan to stay or leave? The kids on my child’s team are openly talking to each other about which tryouts they have gone to and what offers they have received. It’s hard to tell whether people are seriously considering leaving, or just testing the waters. This is probably the first year most of them have gone around to different tryouts. My child’s interest in staying vs. leaving depends heavily on whether their teammates are sticking around. I too worry that the team will be depleted next year and they will struggle. It feels like the conversations among parents are hush hush. I’d rather get it all out in the open. Based on what the kids are saying, most are not competing with one another for spots. The other offers have all been from different clubs. [/quote]

Depends on the families and how close you are with them. I wouldn't open a group chat and start asking who's staying and leaving; but it's fine to do so at practice or on the sidelines with parents you know if you're comfortable asking, especially with the understanding you're trying to decide if staying is worth it if everyone else's or not.[/quote]
