Please explain the obsession with playing with a town. Why not encourage the kids to play at the highest level possible. Sounds like the town folk want to hold the best kids back.

Keep the high school coaches out of the summer. If they cant win with the time they have during the year so be it.

It is wrong for High School Coaches or Town Programs to coerce children into playing for them.

Just curious, are the Town Teams open to everyone or do they have Tryouts and cuts?? How about at the youth level?? do the town teams cut kids? do they have "A" ,"B" and "C" Teams?

There are more B, C, and D Players than there are "A" players.

The Parents of the B, C, and D players want their kids to play with the "A" players and the only way that can happen is if the "A" players stay at home.

An "A" player staying home helps the Town/HS Team but it does not help the Player.

The Bottom Line is: "Its wrong for a high school coaches and town programs to to coerce children into playing for his summer team".

If a high school coach thinks he has what it takes to compete against the club organizations then he should quit his Job "coaching job". He should go and compete on the open market. Without coercion, how many would be able to compete????
