Most of the parents I know from Mount Pleasant--who, mind you, have younger players who are almost at the cusp of being able to play select--have mixed feelings or are split on the idea of playing with Bridge.
I know a couple of families on one of the boys academy teams were upset because they were contacted and felt like they were being essentially "recruited" by the corresponding Bridge coach in the middle of the season. Having spoken to them, they were upset because they felt like it was unethical, to a certain degree and that he should have waited until post-season rather than try to take the players midseason. I have no idea what was actually said on these occasions, but it was the general consensus from the families who say they've experienced this.
Another group of the parents don't really feel either way about Bridge and are pretty content with MPSC and the final group are the parents seriously considering a move to Bridge, either due to frustrations with their current club and/or the presence of older siblings in the Bridge program.
I think a lot of the decisions regarding the Mt. P players have to do with the particular team they'd play on at MPSC, how they feel about the local club (good experiences or bad ones, etc), and whether or not they would get more chances with Bridge versus with MPSC whose presence in the limelight isn't quite as bright as it was back when it fielded the old Hungryneck teams like Fury and Ice and the boys teams who I don't remember.
