Switching clubs

We are going through this right now. Tryouts happened but got offer that was a better fit for our son. Our CFC Valley coach is vindictive. We have been keeping it a secret with three more weeks left. It all depends on your intuition. If they find out and ask, just be honest and say you are leaving.

What age is your son?

Better fit = a club that will take your money and play pretend and tell you that your is the next Messi. Just stop this nonsense. Be an adult. Have a conversation with the coach. Encourage your son to practice and train on off days. If he wants it, it will show in his work ethic and in his growth. Anything else is simply infantile behavior. What lesson are you teaching your son?

Not the poster but I think you are making a leap here. Sure this board is full of parents with big dreams, but some situations aren’t about making the US national team. Some people just want a fair shake for their kid. We all know of a at least a few instances where even an untrained eye can see an inequity. The source is usually a parent-coach or some other unknown relationship. Not everything is a problem of quality or hard work. How many kids of other coaches within a club do you see needlessly moved up a level occupying a spot that is a stretch.

As someone wise once posted on here, you only have so many soccer bullets (days in the week, seasons per year, and years till 18. Use them wisely.

Great job making assumptions when you know nothing about the poster or his player. You sound like a club owner who is losing players

luckily clubs are super honest and transparent with players and families so the standards are high! It isnt as if clubs are out there actively trying to find your kids replacement without telling you they're doing it and its definitely not as if they're offering other kids spots and holding incumbent players offers back just in case they find better. Given how great clubs are to the paying customer, i feel like parents should be just as nice and transparent back.
