No need to get so nasty, life is to short. If a young lady asks the director of a club to contact a coach it should be a very very simple process, emails take 30 seconds and the family can be copied on it. Whether the coach responds is a whole other subject, let the college decide on the athletes ability. The point is initiating contact, and it's lousy that when asked to the request is dismissed. We all know an athlete can contact the coach directly, but to have a club director cash a check for years without ever sending 1 email on behalf of a kid is disgusting.


^^^^^^ Exactly!!!!!!!!


Coaches want the KID to take initiative and contact them. You should also send your highlights. If the coach is interested they will contact your HS or club coach or in most cases both. After that its up to the kid to follow up. It is in the interest of both HS and club coach to get kids recruited. it only makes them look good. I believe you are a bit delusional because you are expecting the club coach to promote your daughter, which is not their role. YJ does not deal with that nonsense either. In fact they encourage you to pay extra for their recruiting service. The better girls do not need any of this additional money grab.
