Why haven’t people left this team yet?
Some have. Lost a few during tryouts, another mid fall last year, and then another to YJ at the end of the summer. Not enough spots on other teams for these kids and it’s so late in the game to switch.
It’s not too late. You and your daughter need to take recruiting into your own hands. Research her top 10 schools and there’s a good chance a handful of them have clinics in December. Create a fall highlight film and have your daughter send out emails. Help empower her and make this a priority!
Not original poster but on this team and facing the same issue. We are doing everything in our power but it is very obvious which clubs have people on the inside who are helping push their kids. Their are multiple kids on our team better than committed kids who pushed schools heavily and didn’t get anything because the directors and coaches of the other kids, who we are friends with and speak to the parents of, had coaches texting the college coaches and making calls for them for the past year. They were able to get feedback after events on if a school was definitely not interested so they could use their time and money somewhere that may be a better fit. Sad that even with talent , those of equal talent who’ll get picked for the jersey they wear
College coaches offer spots to the players that they believe can help their program. Club directors, club coaches, high school coaches, college alumni, current players, coaches friends etc... have very little influence over who the college coach offers a spot to.
That isn’t true at all come on now you know Carol rose is getting kids into schools with her reputation alone. They’ll come to see TG YJ Jesters Legacy etc because they have coaches and directors who are connected to the sport heavily. Coaches listen to and respect those names and clubs.
You are delusional if you think a coach at a top 20 college team is taking a kid just in the word of a club coach. will they look at them, sure. But they aren’t taking that kid.
Example. Kid from YJ and a kid from say Belles. Director from YJ tells coach from top 20 her kid is a star. Coach comes watch the kid and she stinks it up. The. That player goes to the coach’s camp and stinks it up. While the belles player is an absolute student at her games and camp. And goes to a second camp and k cold it out of the park. Guess who that top 20 coach is taking ?
If your kid is good, she will find a place.
Every thread on here has a new post about 91 being the worst option for kids. The younger grades complain about coaches character as well. This isn’t a trend for just rhe 24s and sadly these coaches are taking the heat for a bigger issue: 91 not being a top girls program. It hasn’t been for a very long time. It’s why they can’t keep directors or good coaches, because unless a parent is coaching to get their kid free tuition most coaches do not want to stay and deal with working for a boys club.
I’m sure these coaches have some blame to take, but at the end of the day there is a reason the same type of coimplants can be found at every grade level on here year after year. There’s a reason people tell 5th graders to run while they have a chance to build chemistry and relationships at a better club.
Your issue is you didn’t stand a chance the second you chose to play for that particular club. The organization as a whole is not focused on the girls side.
You have a few more months and then you’re done. My suggestion is you stop complaining here, put your head down before you burn bridges with anyone at that club that’s trying even a little bit, and just get it done. It’s too late to make any real changes, so just make the best of it.
