your points are fair. but keep in mind that if a 12 year old attends the required practices and the fl$ tournaments... what gives fl$ the right to dictate free time choices to a non compensated, 12 yr old amateur athlete??
at the best it's arrogant, at worst, it's exploitive...

therein lies the slippery slope of this trend of tug of war between HS coaches, getting into the play for pay, "or else" business, vs. Club lax hooks... in all senarios, the 7th and 8 th grade player always finishes last...

More kids are deciding; who and where, to play, purely out of fear from backlash from a vindictive coach or organization....
signing such BS agreements, simply validates this trend!

is anyone else sharing these concerns??
