SILVER ELITE
had one coach who did voluntary group/privates for free, certain days/times. He lived near practice field, worked further away so he would just stick around after his day job. changed coaches end of the season, same club, also provided group extra-training at a cost, you got a deal if you paid for the month upfront. Always felt kind of shady, coached two teams already, adjacent age groups, with many players dual rostered, then this compensation on the side. The worst part was he'd guilt the girls into attending.
The unspoken thing was "if you don't come to extra training, you won't play as much." My kid was a 80 minute player and didn't see their time dip, but still, for some of the other kids it seemed pretty underhanded.
