Here's a suggestion: Go help some of these kids find a new club. It is hard to stand out at a tryout with 70 kids running around.

If you know some of them, call a club director or coach and put in a good word. I did.

Maybe spend your time helping kids and grow our game instead of bashing boys who are just trying to find a team, you Richard.


All of this. Thank you to those who are actually trying to help. This is already a challenging time for these boys as they transition to high school, leaving a club that has perhaps been their 'home' for several years, leaving club friends and families made over the years, and the uncertainly of not knowing where they may land. Its all a lot for them. Appreciate this perspective.
