What the title said.
Things have been getting stale for my daughter in terms of competition in the Coast / DPL so its time to start looking for the next challenge. What's holding me back from a move is the politics. Its been a good long run with her current team and time for a new voice.
Can anyone give me an honest figure on how much extra ill need to pay the coach on the side for my DD to see the field? She's a defender, not sure if prices change for each position? (serious question) Its this a flat rate or percentage? Do I pick up hotels and room service for the coach at tournaments? In Vegas, do I send up one escort or two? Is there a magic number that keeps my kid on the field even if they make mistakes? Seems like everywhere I'm looking the coaches get younger and younger. Youth is very easy to manipulate. I'm a aware of the red flags from the start. Coaches talking to groups of parents having a good laugh and a beer. Individual conversations before games, new BMW's on a coaches salary in the parking lot etc. Its been known in the past the two clubs I'm looking at are run by the almighty dollar and the same parents are still there so my assumption is ill need to keep up with the Jones's monthly installments for my daughter to see the field.
The helps appreciated. Please don't deny it happens. Its common knowledge in the ECNL landscape for girls more so then boys and I've talked with plenty parents who "contribute" to the coaches cause out on the greens.
Just looking for some transparent pricing information to see if I can afford the move.
