What does that matter? Kids leave clubs ALL THE TIME nowadays. The clubs are ALWAYS looking for the "next best thing", therefore why shouldn't we as the costumer?? No loyalty on either side, wake up instead of taking a shot at the kid and his family.

Oh we have woken up. How many players have jumped programs,not teams, months after a team is selected,other players were cut for that kids spot,the team has been practicing and playing,traveling together since the fall and it is now May?? The kid leaves and does not even give an explanation to his teammates and friends?Its not about him leaving,its about when and how he went about it. Or his parents decision to do so after being a teammate and friend for a few years.These teams develop friendships and spend a lot of time together,not just on the field but off the field too. The way this has happened has left the boys asking why? With no explanation. This isn't just about a game for these kids,this particular group is close and this situation has been upsetting for this group. Good Luck to the him, and the players will miss him, and hope he finds what he is looking for with his new team. Maybe someday he can explain it all to the boys.


Why does he or his family owe anything to anybody? Do they have the kid play club ball to make FRIENDS? Or get better and compete? You can't tell people how to live their life or raise their kids. I don't judge people on that, these club teams are a business for owners and parents need to realize its not a freaking play date. Its a cut throat competition at times, which is not good but it is the reality of the youth elite club situation.

As far as the kids on 91 who now have a SURPRISE kid coming for playing time and a roster role, I agree with you there. Tryouts are a TRUE waste of our time BUT as we all know a huge $$$$$$ maker for the 91's, fl$'s & Express's of the world. But thats something the 2018 Orange 91 team parents NEED to tell the owner/head coach of 91 - gotta speak up.
