Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMy daughter was just recruited by an area club. I have both a bachelor's and a master's degree in sales and marketing, so I wasn't born yesterday, if you know what I mean.
Come to find out that my daughter has been rostered on the B team even though when they recruited her, they told us they wanted her for the A team. Based on attending the first few training sessions, I'd say her coach thinks he should be coaching the A team, as he's always remarking about having this or that high level coaching diploma or license. That is, when he's not busy texting on his phone.
Am I wrong to be thinking we made a bad choice here, or should I just shut up and pay the club fees?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDefinitely sounds like you have experienced some bait and switch but what you should do about it is pretty much up to you. First and most important question, knowing that for girls that this is a very complex issue, is your daughter happy with her placement? Does she like the other girls? Even though the coach might come off as a bit of a dink, does she feel that she is learning and improving as a player? Recognizing that trust appears to have been violated, what is the rationale you have been given behind putting her on the "B" team? Sometimes after all the tryouts when kids start practicing it becomes apparent that other kids just aren't up to speed enough to displace players. Are you getting any feedback that explains the situation and how long do they project her to be there? Lastly where are you going to go where you assume it would be better?

If you have not payed the club feed yet you should stick with the team you committed with first. If the other team really wants your daughter you will get a call at the end of the season for her to go to tryouts and then you will know we're you stand in that club.

If the coach won't talk to you candidly, find another club. Don't suffer in silence.
Never, ever assume a club coach has the best interest of your child at heart.
Your daughter will make friends on a new team as readily as on the current one. Besides, in the end, the friends that count will be the ones she makes on her school teams, not her club teams.
