as a coach myself... I can say 99% of the time if players are about even. The club goes with the player that has parents with the least amount of issues.
its not politics....its the parents.

players that are currently on the team....Shouldnt even have to go to tryouts. Their tryouts were the entire year. Only new faces should be at tryouts. If you couldnt show in that year what makes you think you will show at tryouts?Comment

There's no tryouts douche. It's Mr. Ego justifying his yearly bonus. CLOWN.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

And how often do you actually see any demotions from paying customers for kid to lower level team by U13 even if they are worst of the worst on the bench freeing up spots for promotions? You rarely do. It only happens on the top teams. Like a government job tenure. It can't/won't be taken away. MUCH easier for that kid to keep the spot than the lower level team kid take it.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

BINGO. No critical thinkers from the customers. You take what you get and like it or it will be offered to another.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Not just same players. Lesser players will be promoted if coach likes parents and better players held back if coach doesn't. This is too bad because the kids should neither be rewarded nor punished because of their parents but welcome to the world of competitive travel soccer in Florida and plenty of ********* coaches with egos playing god.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Find the team that your kid fits best with and you won’t think it’s rigged. Is your son a great ball handler but is so slow it looks like he’s dragging a sled with him. Then don’t tryout for a team built around speed. If your kid is super fast but couldn’t receive a cross if his life depended on it your probably stuck with 3rd tier team.Comment

Most parents and kids have few options to play closer to home. But, if you know coach is el jerko, then probably good to find a team with a coach less of el jerko, if possible but it might not be. Many are all birds of a feather and know each other at the bars.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It's actually mostly about the money. Always is. Club soccer is fleecing families good money and time with hype while claiming to deliver first rate competitive soccer. They rarely do.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Maybe a couple of Coaches Down Miami capable of first rate soccer & a couple from TBU & that's it in Fl.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I am a coach. I'll be frank, some parents are such a pain in the ass and absolute cancer on the sidelines that I don't want their child no matter how good they are. It is unfortunate for the child, I wish these parents could understand the damage they do to their children.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

I'm not that coach, but as another coach, I'll give you my answer.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Parents that don't try to ambush the coach before and after every practice and game to explain why their child needs special consideration, or inform you that their child has been working so hard, or ask for the umpteenth time why their child isn't starting or isn't playing their favorite position or doesn't get as much playing time.
Parents who don't scream directives to their child (or other kids) from the side lines.
Parents who don't constantly yell at the refs.
Parents who don't get ejected from games.
Parents who don't urge their kid to "go get a goal" every time they touch the ball, no matter what position they are playing.
Parents who don't openly critique other players on the team - especially when they do it loud enough for the other parents to hear.
Parents who aren't constantly stirring **** by asking why we aren't doing more tournaments, or fewer tournaments, or different tournaments.
Parents who consistently bring their kid to practice or games late.
I could go on and on.Comment
