My DC is currently on a team that is struggling to field a team for games. Practices have become subpar with less then 8 players showing up. Team has not been able to participate in tournaments due to low numbers. DC is frustrated, and has an offer to join another EDP team, playing 2 years up. We do not want to leave current team in worse shape than they already are, but a checked out coach, subpar practices, and a season of games playing down or with 1 sub, or even forfeited when we are paying travel team dues is not optimal. Before we discuss with the team manager, I wanted to see if anyone here could answer a couple questions:
- can we get secondary carded to new team, and finish out games with other team for the season if they are both EDP teams? Teams are in different age brackets.
- if not, can we play with new team for Maryland State Cup games?
Any feedback on how to handle this situation is appreciated. Current team has great kids, great families, and it's a shame that it is falling apart.
