But also, parents that leave teams in alliances so you lose 2-5 players at once right before tournament season or when they tell other parents they are considering leaving to create great drama and be begged to stay.
I have no problem with players deciding to move clubs, just do it with integrity.
Our youngest son has had some what he thought was close friends abruptly leave teams just right before some major Tournaments, postseason, etc.
When he found out by surprised after they don't show he of course reached out to them. Every time the player wanted to stay but the parents where not happy about something so they pulled there player.
He had one teammate that missed the first 5 games of state cup with the "flu" showed up in the knockout round one game by surprised. Coach didn't play him since he hadn't been to practice and the parents where really upset. He sees them talking to the opposing coach after the game so he talks to him the next day. His parents want him to join that team and not return but he wants to go back to practice.
In the end it was parents that over ruled the player, he was never happy with that other team even tough they did well. They hung out after there last HS rival game and where laughing about everything but both commented how more fun it could have been if they could have played together more. That player ended up bouncing around on a few teams but never even qualifed for the post season, won Tournaments, etc but at least they are both moving on to play in college.
Nothing really bugged me about club, surprised yes but it was fun for the kids and they enjoyed the journeys and all the competition.
Lack of fulfilling commitments from players parents, coaches, directors is something that could be worked on but it's just a individual thing so not sure how to improve that?
