$950 SACHEM NORTH THIEVES!!!! That's $950 a player. and there's SSC underling coaches at the varsity coaches knees like minions making sure goes well. highway robbery. for a handful of tournaments definitely a conflict of interest. 950 kid times probably 17-20 kids. Lmfao. and people are dumb enough to pay that. those coaches will be high giving at the high stakes table in Atlantic city with your money or buying themselves a new car
Only a conflict if they are telling ids they MUST play for them in summer or will not play varsity in spring. Which is not the case. They have a sophomore this year that started on varsity and does not play summer with them. The best kids will play in the spring. Doesn't matter where they play summer.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Do you even know how much it costs per team to enter a tournament?
How much does insurance cost?
Uniforms?
Travel expenses for coaches to go to away tournaments?
If you think anyone is getting rich off of $ 950 a kid for 5 tournaments you dont have a clue.
If you think they are ripping you off go join the Express or 91 and pay $2500 plus.
tournament: max 1500x5= 7500 (and that's stretching it... ALOT! Insurance: $25.00/player = $250.00 uniforms: fully sublimated: $100.00/uniform: $2000.00. Travel expenses for coaches????? I guess around 10 grand. But again $1500/tourney is estimating high.... Please if I'm wrong let me know!!!! And if you paid higher for anything you got ripped off
Cost is not the issue. It is a clear conflict of interest.
I am not involved with Sachem but I am a coach. I coach both at the high school level and the club level. I am qualified and certified. I do not see the conflict at these numbers.
The high school coach gets paid from march to may. After may his paid position is over. However if you want a successful program, there must be a continuation of playing together. Who should keep the kids together? Who should build the continuity to the HS program? A father who may or may not be a coach? A father who may or may not have a vested interest in his own son? or the HS staff who wants to keep the school program and the kids coming to his program in the future playing together?
Oh, I get it, because he wants to build a program he should do it for free? He just finished a varsity season with six days a week plus film study and planning. He scouted games that were coming up etc.... Now, he should leave his own kids and or wife or family or fishing or whatever else he may enjoy during his summer to coach your kid for free. He offers no value and should be so generous as to donate another couple of hundred hours to your son so there is no conflict of interest.
Maybe you would rather he took a position for Express or Fill in the blank club where he has no worries about parents or kids interfering with his actual livelihood because little johnny should be the starting attackman instead of # 4.
But then I bet there would be the accusation that if you dont pay to play for him at such and such club you will be punished. So I guess he is in a no win situation isnt he. How dare him want to coach in the community his team comes from!
If you are uncomfortable, don't play for him. Go play for Igloo and spend $3500.
