Question has been asked and answered by the coaching staff repeatedly. Outdoor DA stays at Evergreen. No indication that it'll be moved. None.


What is the name of your club?

A 40 mile location change? That’s not an insignificant contract detail?

Lesson learned for future club contracts.

Wrong. No club guarantees fields. Any club can change venues as they choose for whatever reason comes up. Parents assume practices will always be @ field x, but clubs are not bound to guarantee it.


Maybe. But there is still a reasonable expectation that practices will be consistent with the current situation. If they now expect you to make an extra 45 minute trip, thats a significant change in my book that they should respect if you ask for consideration.


Honestly most clubs wouldn't. As for respect, FCV isn't exactly known for that either.

If you signed a contract with a DA team for next year, please post the contract language.

The timing was such that none of the girls could go anywhere else. At least for 2019/20


Unless you are one of those parents who paid in full (which I know of parents who did), I'd go to the club and ask to be released to play elsewhere.


I don’t buy this argument. Too many solutions


I don't understand what you mean. Can you explain? Which argument and what solutions?


Are all of the parents who paid in full paying with cash? Also sounds like the contract you signed was not made in good faith by one party. Too many supposedly smart people in our area to just throw up their hands.


Regardless of the means, if you paid 3 weeks ago, it's a good $3000 they'd have to walk away from, because FCV isn't giving the money back. It's a dirty, underhanded move.
