The question I keep asking myself while watching this unfold is, "does being on the athletic admission track really help your application that much?" For a superstar recruit, I get it, "this kid will help us beat State..." But for a run-of-the-mill player (or perennial bench warmer (or non actual player with an "athlete" * next to their name)) Does it really justify paying that much money and risking getting caught?
LOL. I had to lookup trolling. But I promise you I am not trolling you or any one. I just love kids and want them to get treated better. They should not be treated as a business. What I fail to understand if they have a losing season all the players leave and if they have a winning season they are cut from the team.
That is the truth, great answer. and the best answer I got was this and finding a coach that likes your kids ability. It doesn't matter which Club. I will be searching for that coach and any recommendations from everyone here will be greatly appreciated.
What will stop them from paying off someone to put their kids in a winning team? When the kids that actually made the effort to get the team to the next level gets kicked out.
Those are the parents with money. They never spend time with their kids so they just want to buy them thinks. I am lucky that I can dedicate my time to my kids. I tell them about needs and wants. We are grateful for providing them their needs.
College doesn't have promotion and relegation.
Would something terrible happen to the club if they allowed the players that got them to move up a class to stay on the team for another year?
Thank you all for your feedback. I hope I was not that much of a headache for all of you. I am very very sorry trying to make my points and I got great advice from most everyone in return. If any parents that need information about AYSO United South OC just reply to my posts and would love to share the truth with you from my experience this past year, it was not that bad but it had a kick in the bud at the end, LOL. But everyone here has been helpful to me.
When your kid made the team, he took another kid's spot. The coach thinks your son will develop better playing with the bronze 05s, which will give the 06s an extra spot to develop another player. I see that as AYSO doing exactly what it's supposed to do: developing both your son and the other player who takes his spot.
Thank you for the reply. As I mentioned on an other post 4 players had left the team so my son was chosen to play on the team. If we had left the team I belief the coach had every right and could have picked another player, but in this case he should have had the chance to play another year since they did not move to a higher class in the 06s in the previous years.
Isn't this what happened? The season ended and your kid was cut. I'm not getting even what your complaint is. Competitive teams cut kids. If they didn't, they wouldn't be competitive.
I emailed it to MWN please ask him about my sons ability, what he wrote to me is "From a skill perspective, he appears to have the same level of skill as his teammates." Sorry I can not share it with every one and he was the first one to provide me with his email and was a silver level member on the forum so I trusted him.
This is great advice. Just like a school its all about the teacher you have not about the rest. Choose a coach that nurtures and challenges your child in an appropriate manner, believes in them and gets to know them, and challenges them to perform better. We just left a coach that couldn't do any of the above.
