my kid didn't get selected for next years GDA team, the showcase is at the end of this month, we already signed with a non gda team, I havnt paid anything yet for the showcase, just verbally committed to going 2 months ago.... im curious to hear what the consequences will be if we just don't go? besides being labeled a jackazzzz etc etc, can the club do anything that will affect my kid for next years non gda team?

I would never expect to have your kid chosen for the GDA team ever again...Originally posted by Unregistered View Post -
So what? Rejected is rejected.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
OP - don't listen to this jackazz. Don't go. Don't spend the time and money, and chances are your player would hardly play. It isn't worth it, especially for her emotional health (really, who wants to play for a team you've been cut from?). The club doesn't expect you to go and reasonable parents would totally understand. The team will likely have enough players and even if they don't they can probably pull in another player.Comment

If you are looking for your financial liabilities, did you ever sign any sort of contract? Just check the language and see what they can hold you responsible for or what their penalties are.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

And don’t expect her to be a DP either. Can’t trust anything you say as you committed to the entire season (which includes the summer showcase), so the club won’t believe anything you say in the future. They can’t depend on you to now, why should they going forward.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post

You must be with club management, who fail on their commitments to players all the time.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
It's a two way street. If a player is not asked back, why would a club want them to be in a tournament unless they are desperately short of players? Forcing them to do something is worse, akin to having to work after you got fired. Are you really going to give it your all knowing you've been let go. I would never expect a player to participate in an event if they're being shown the door. If they want it then the club is obligated to let them, but not many would. Use the roster spot to pull up a younger or B team player. Plus, this is DA with limited sub rules. Is a cut player going to get any playing time? No.

A reputable club will not hold it against you especially since your daughter was not selected for next years team. This is common in ECNL and GDA for kids who did not make next years team to be "on the hook" for the summer showcase. Be glad you did not pay and I am sure one of the players who is going to be on the next years team will be happy to go in her place. Do not lose a second of sleep over it.Comment

Multiple clubs have pulled out of the u19 championship and they are now offering clubs that didn’t qualify spots. At the others ages clubs can’t field full teams at the event so the DA is allowing players to play on muitlple teams. This GDA is a sh$t showOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It's stupid to have teams of mostly seniors schlepp out to CA. They're done. It's an expensive trip. They have pre-season to get ready for plus enjoy the last of their summers before college starts. Let the younger, non recruited players play on U17 teams so they can get recruited if they haven't yet.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Agree, this has always been an issue for teams that advanced through state cups and regionals in the past and now it is the same for ecnl and gda.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
