Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFormer GPS family here. I didn't post that, but here's how I interpret the "robbery" of GPS. You pay a premium and you get complete disorganization. My three kids are at three different clubs now (somewhat insane I know), but each club has it all over GPS in terms of organization and coaching stability.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDisorganization is a theme among a lot of clubs. I personally think the problem is that coaches are in general not very good administrators so if they don't have a solid administrative person behind them, then the experience becomes a messy one. We've been at several clubs and each one has had its issues with lack of organization. These clubs would serve themselves well to hire an experienced, detailed admin person or persons to communicate with families and organize team travel, etc. Team parents aren't usually a good solution either; they're unpaid volunteers who don't have the time needed to fully coordinate and organize a team.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSo i dont have a child on GPS but know others that do and are generally happy. But I dont know whether they are any better or worse than the other "big clubs". I would think that if people really thought they sucked, why would they have so many teams ? One question I have is tenure...if their average player sticks around for just a year or two and then leaves, then you have your answer. it's a marketing machine that does a good job selling their product to new customers, but cant get them to stick. If a large number of players stay for long periods of time, they must feel they get value for their money because there are many clubs that would accept the same check and they could easily choose some other club.

awful
Notice why this is a dead lame thread. ITS BECAUSE GPS IS NOT relevant! Just because you have a kid there doesnt mean its a relevant organization. Its not. Stop defending it just because you pay for it. $3695 plus tournaments and uniform? disgusting.
