If you are in the group and are unhappy but staying...stop airing your dirty laundry. Kids improve by practicing with these coaches and the top level kids at a high pace. Most of the 40 on the team most likely are a top players in town ball and should get plenty of field time there, if not you're on the wrong team and they are just taking your money.


Town teams don't take your money. They aren't even $200 for the season. That basically pays the refs and any maintenance costs.
Yes kids learn from these club coaches, but isn't it best to be put to the test in an actual game environment? From what I'm hearing, they aren't even getting that opportunity. The fees you pay to these clubs in part pay for entrance to tournaments and exposure.
You're not getting that sitting on the sideline. You're just getting an expensive uniform and helmet with some extra reps at practice.

Again, if they're supposed to be rotating players, which is what these parents were told, then fine. But they aren't even doing that. I think people are just speaking to the obvious fraud in this situation. They were sold and bought the snake oil.
