Tassinari Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Out of courtesy they usually approach the coach, but they don't need to, if they can identify the parents. The current club, can hold the registration for the kid however, if they're at an age of playing Soccer 7's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldel Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Its an 11's team, under 13's. The clubs apparently asked about a few of the boys and the coach said no, without speaking to Parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassinari Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Ooooft, no much of a coach then, if he'll no let the kids progress. Or giving the guy the benefit of the doubt, the other club has maybe messed other kids about in the past. Shouldn't be up to the coach to make that decision in my opinion.

Kmcalpin Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Normal practice would be approach the parents first, and then out of courtesy the coach. This does not say much for A) the enquiring club, which should get a severe reprimand and B) the Coach, who has got his priorities all wrong. This says a lot about the state of UK football.

Well-Made Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I know when my lad played at the Cumbernauld Colts, the coach for Pro Youth at Stenny spoke to the coach and then got the parents over to talk to him. I don't think the coach has the right to say No, not at least without letting you know there's been an approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Couldn't the youngster's parents or guardians simply cancel any "contract" with his current team and walk away? If they can that's exactly what they should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldel Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 The coach who rejected the approaches has now left the boys club. They are a good team and a few of the boys would be able to step up. Hopefully they all get another chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
