tigers87: You see, it is common practice, at least on the beach, to list as many players names or tryout numbers assigned to teams as possible so that parents will think; "OMG, he/she is signed up with this or that club, so I better get my money in asap. The problem comes when, at the first practice, not only are the players listed not there, but now the parents see that there is a 2-3 year age group difference. So, quit you say? well, the parents have just paid a huge chunk of change and have committed their child to play. They will pay the entire years fee by December, and really have nowhere else to go. Cute little trick, one club here does that quite often.

The fact that CUFC will not print a players name until they have check in hand gives them instant credibility.
