I had a player that was a star player and we are not rich and we were willing to pay for a player who didn't have the means out of our own pockets. A couple of the other parents found out we were paying for her and they agreed to split the cost. The funniest part about it was the most well off family on the team complained about the player initially having her costs split up just like you are complaining. What that parent didn't know (didn't care to know) is that the family had a special needs kid at home among their 4 children that required a lot of care and this would have robbed this kid of the opportunity to play at the appropriate level.
Have a heart. Those that can should. We are all people here at the end of the day and we should try to pass on the blessings that we receive so that we in turn may be blessed.
Think about it.
Thanks for sharing! It's great to see soccer families coming together to help out one of their own. The majority of us are lucky to be able to pay for competitive soccer, even if it means cutting back on other things. But there are those that can't take the time off work to drive to games, or even pay the gas to make those weekly drives. Some of these kids play in the Mexican league, or just in the park with friends. I'm sure there is a lot of untapped talent out there due to families not being able to afford club soccer.
