Academy Team switching clubs
by Soccermom03 13/01/12, 02:33 pm
What are the "rules" for an Academy team switching to another club? Our entire team is 100% (including coach) on board to moving to another club. We are currently playing in an indoor league (which was paid by our dues, not the club). However, we are being "held hostage" by the original club who is threatening everyone/everything if we switch uniforms. I don't remember signing any contracts in Acadmey? Who can shed some light on this for me?

Zero contracts on the kids or parents. What is being threatened? As far as the coach goes. No idea, but doubtful unless he has been paid in advance by the club, but that still would not keep the team from moving.

There is not much that the club can to do prevent you from wearing the new colors.

Our $270/child/season dues paid to "original club"....the "original club" actually wrote the check to indoor league....therefore, "Original Club & his lawyer" says the spot is reserved for the "original club" team. We can play, but it has to be with "orignial club" uniforms/coach. Threats to indoor league, threats to parents, threats to new club, just a real Classy organization, just Classy.

Just wait till the current indoor season is over and leave. Or is this for a future league?

No biggie. Play in the original club uniforms in that case. Then move on.

Still have your coach and the team. All things considered I guess that's something to be happy about. Sucks that this is happening. I know other teams have switched mid season, wonder why this one is such a big deal.

Oh I understand some of these clubs and the egos, I remember it from my days with my daughter. However teams switch all the time at this age (heck the board is littered with rumors or stories of teams switching clubs) so I was just curious what was so special about this team or this situation.
Maybe it's the mid season switch thing but even then I've seen teams switch mid season.

Dont over analyze it. Its clearly a stupid ego thing. This kind of thing happens occasionally. Its a minor bump on the youth soccer highway.

My DD's team did... it was no big deal as long as you wait for the end of the season. The previous club called all the parents and tried to convince them to leave the coach...all sorts of promises. No one took them up on it. The worst part was having to buy all new uniforms and spirit wear.

Depending on where you are playing the spot is actually reserved for the children registered on the roster and that paid for their neato NTX ID cards, regardless of who wrote the check. Although I have seen a certain club that is affiliated with a certain facility that has free reign to bring in any kid, card or no card, roster or no roster...but that is a different thread entirely.

This is an easy one folks.
You are the client.
Your $ paid for indoor regardless of who wrote the check.
End of story.
Academy is not select. You can move wen and as often as you want as long as you don't mind paying for new uni's etc.
