I am confused. I can take the offer and still go to another training and tryout. What happens if we make the other team. Can I rescind the current teams offer.

Good to know. I thought once we signed the contract we were legally obligated to play for that team.

Players can leave a club at any time and join a new club. They just need to file the paperwork. The "leaving" club cannot stop a player from leaving

I agree with others - sign so you have something locked in. Try to get to practices at the other place as quickly as possible. Watch the coach (you won't get a good sense of a coach at a tryout). Observe where your D fits in relative to the others. If she's going to be #15-18 (which means lots of bench time) you might want to keep her where she is.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostA contract, for kids' soccer. Part of Stars' Club I presume? Sign the contract when you've made a decision you are comfortable in making. Don't let yourself get pressured by the coach. Remember, they are salespeople disguised as coaches. They will tell you what you want to hear to get your money.

Club contracts are intentionally very vague and really don't offer the consumer much protection. Clubs could pursue nonpayment in small claims court. But as another said if word got out they'd come across as complete ***** holes so they don't. I bet most parents don't even read them - our last one basically just said we agree to pay x for so many training sessions a week and 2-3 tournaments. That's it - nothing on the coach (so they can change if they want) nothing on what tournaments (they could end up at lousy ones). No promises to "develop" your kid, which would be tough to prove in court. It really is a leap of faith more than anything else
I be very leary of a club pushing so hard to lock people in. If a club is in demand they would have no problem filling spots, and wouldn't need the hard court press
