It's sad that you had a bad experience where little Johnny was playing. It appears that problems come from the parents who have this false reality that their child is "all world" and is being looked at by D1 scouts. Let the kids learn the game and have fun competing.
The problem is not the parent, it's the owner of the club selling a bunch of crap for the parents hard earned money. I know of only a few clubs where the practices are year round, provide top notch training, cover all aspects of the game, and build a better player. It has nothing to do with D1.
