Moving Teams

[Guest]

Certain clubs will hold the card until the end of the season, so be careful.

I think all clubs should. You made a commitment, please fulfil it (exceptions for moving houses and such).

There are people who are known to do this and everyone knows. When you have to switch every year, YOU are the problem.

100% correct usually the kid suffers because it’s the parents trying to stroke their own ego.

Always the kid who suffers! Nothing is enough for parents like this, always shopping for the next thing. Far greater responsibility as parents to model integrity and taking responsibility, than it is to get on whatever team is hottest in the moment.

the problem with these types of statements is that many clubs and coaches are promoting unhealthy environments. Mental health is a serious issue and pushing your kid to stay in a situation because it’s the “responsible “ thing to do is the wrong lesson. Your child comes first, their comfort comes first not teaching them a lesson of “grin and bear it.” You’ll have plenty of time for that.

If you don’t see any improvement on your kid in the current team and if your kid wants to be better and moves to a better fit team, what is the problem for leaving the team?
You shouldn’t waste one year if you have better opportunity for your kids unless leaving the team could cause big troubles to your team ( shortage of players and etc..)

Always look out for the best interest of your child. If the current team isn't a good fit move them - up, down or laterally. Just make sure you're doing for the right reasons and you do your research to find a good fit.

The club also made a commitment to train the player all year and some fall short- which is why people leave.

Also it's a two way street: some coaches will bench players who are leaving. If you expect player commitment then do the same for the player

This is the problem with society. Instant gratification. What happened to trying to work through things? What happened with teaching resilience. What happened to all the great lessons sports teach? Please with the opportunities- if you are too blind to see all they want is your money, I have a bridge to sell you.

yeah and teach your child to just leave when things don’t go your way. I hope they never have to face any difficulties because they won’t know how to.

Unhealthy environment. Mental health. All terms invented by snowflakes.

You sure sound like a club owner or a parenthetical thinks their kid is somehow superior.

Different poster but it usually has nothing to do with "difficulties" or mental toughness. There's lots of reasons to leave teams - including rarely playing. Try your hardest and stick it out for the year but staying for another year of unhappiness is a bad idea. They won't learn as much rarely playing and it can suck the love of the game right out of a kid. It's just not a good fit. Also a player may need more of a challenge and should move up. They might want a similar level but less travel. As long as the family isn't knee jerk reacting and doesn't club hop often then movement is usually the best option.

Neither actually. Just a parent with some sense.

Your kid should be enjoying the sport. If they’re not you’re on the wrong team.
