I don't think the parents should give 2effs if their club coach gets mad at them for playing 1 off tournaments. If they try to take it out on the kid, leave. There are plenty of clubs in the DMV and you can be certain 1 solid/long term player leaving will lead to others leaving. That's how it works.
Clubs need to watch it. This is when kids get tired of their [Censored] and leave. It's killed many teams before. |
