No offer from current club. Should we start attending other clinics/trainings/tryouts? Afraid it will get back to the coach/club.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDo you know if offers have been made at your club yet? Many teams and clubs haven’t made offers yet. If you know kids have offers and your child doesn’t, I’d talk with the coach and ask to be leveled with. And yes, I’d attend other practices or tryouts to find a good place for your child to land.

If the roster is 18 and say 8 have offers agree time to see what’s up. However, it’s a high risk kid you might see offer come out sooner. Offers haven’t started at our club yet...

Every coach/club should be willing to tell its players if they will either definitely have a spot, definitely not have a spot or if they're on the bubble. Obviously the last two groups should get busy looking elsewhere. Screw any club that would hold it against a player for looking around, especially it's a bubble player. You have to look out for your kid. Even if you're solid and set it's good to check out your options now and then.

Only 3 weeks into spring season, know a few People Over the years who told heir coaches too early that they were testing the waters elsewhere. Didn’t work out so well for any of them. Ask your questions get your answers and handle on your own. No reason to share any more than required

^ you don't have to tell them you're looking but you have every right to ask where your player stands. You're the paying customer. If your kid's spot is questionable they likely won't care if you're looking around. They only care about the players who are difference makers. This is all part of the youth soccer industry and clubs know it. If a club or coach holds it against you why are there to begin with?

Fine example you set.
Hope you all lose your spots and don’t make a new team

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's precisely this attitude that chases customers away. Sometimes the situation is so bad families have to pull their kids before the season is done. Most times you can and should stick it out, but not if it's killing your kid's love of the game
Not a coach, either.
Just sick of the wimps

We cant simultaneously ask for a single pyramid while advocating families shop their children when the club identifies them as a bubble player. Isn’t it highly probable the player really is a bubble player at that level, and more likely the club is actually recommending what is developmentally best?
