Look- a fool and his money are soon parted as the saying goes.

No idea about the boys side of this whole thing, but my daughter's club was paid in installments which effectively made them paid in full prior to the season. And then there was no season. Yes the director arranged some complete BS "play dates" and a mosquito fest in Heckscher State Park. No refund and no discount, even though it should be clear to anyone that he made out like a bandit- got all of his revenue, but didn't have to pay for his own travel cost OR to tournament fees for each of his teams (which is their biggest expense by far- usually 1500-1800 per team per tournament).

Any director who had a season like above who cries poor is a liar. Anyone who believes them is just plain notIntelligent, drunk, obsessed with the man, or simply too blinded by Ivy League ambitions for their kid.

Who knows what 2021 brings- hopefully it is much better and last summer was a once in a lifetime event. But those of you who eagerly wrote 2021 checks to these guys, knowing that they had no problem taking your money for nothing in 2020, are doing so at your own risk. They showed their true colors last year. When someone tells you who they are, maybe you should believe them.

I didn't write that check this year.
