My point is radically simple: I am all for holding parents to their financial commitments; however, I am completely against a plethora of rules that limit the choices of players. It doesn't matter who or what advocates the limiting of choice.




I agree completely and to be honest I am less concerned with the mega clubs and the financial commitments then I am of the smaller clubs.

And as far as transfers, I have been on a team that had 12 players and one of the players transfered to another team, actually in the same club, because we had 12. We played the rest of the season with 11 players. I was very upset with the club president for encouraging it but never once did I blame the parents. She was their child plain and simple. I do not cloth them, feed them, or provide guardianship for them, so I should have zero control over them.

I also agree this doesn't grow the sport but I believe the belief is that it helps keep the status quo. And the mega clubs are paying a large part of the bill.

I do disagree slightly with you about CESA rec unless CESA is willing to foot the bill for the insurance and background checks. Which is where almost all the money goes in SCYSA. No one on the board makes any money for serving.

Here I go again!
