Magic Just Rumors Really???

[noncrazynorcal]

Let me ask you a question? Who really gives a rats A$$ if positions were already given out or not? When you move to a new organization you want to be able to compete right off the bat to draw better talent, down the road. Do you idiots think you would go to a new organization and you wouldn't promise spots to any girls? Come on get over it!! You are basically pissed because your kid didn't get asked to go to Lady Magic. You know what I say.... get off your lazy butt and work with your kid and let your kid work for their position, and prove Chet made a mistake. Or is it the fact that it wasn't even your daughters fault maybe your a HORRIBLE parent and he doesn't want you or your spouse!!! Quit bitching jealousy will get you know where!!!

The best medicine is to focus on your daughter and what you can do to make her better. Maybe her heart isn't into it as much as yours? look in the mirror, you aren't going to wear the Lady Magic uniform she is if she earns it. NOT YOU! If it all works out and your kid works, does her job she will make Chet regret not taking her and you can sit and laugh to yourself when they ask her to tryout later on.

Also just for your information, Chet is a good guy and you would of done the same thing! Don't deny it everyone would of done the same thing. I don't even have a kid in that age group but I know where this is all coming from JEALOUSY. Move on your daughters will be fine.

Work you tails off ladies and make CM regret not taking YOU that is the best thing YOU can do!!! Trust me if YOU put in your work and time YOU maybe the one to take a spot on that team if YOU want it, not your PARENTS!

This person does not get it.

noncrazynorcal- Look in the mirror and you will see the person that does not get it! This is travel ball which is supposed to be competitive not rec ball. Like the old saying "winning isn't everything but wanting to win is." Quit complaining and work with your kid and make her better.

Worry about yourself not what others are doing.

GOOD LUCK CHET AND LADY MAGIC! I wish those girls the best of luck and enjoy the game you love.

I've read this thread, and I don't get it!

I've put together a competitive soccer team before. We took half a rec team and had a tryout for the rest. We got numbers, but not quality. We had plans to play here, there, everywhere that year and we scrapped it all! We just played our league schedule. The next year we went out and found another half of a rec team and merged. Between those two cores we made one good team.

AFTER we started playing well we started to see quality at tryouts. We've handed the team off to different coaches now and are not affiliated (my kid plays baseball the other coach's kid plays water polo) but they are still a decent team.

So...

If the Lady Magic went out and recruited a 12U team...good for them! It's the only way to ensure a quality team.

LM have done a tremendous job helping players in older divisions for years.

Again, it's not HOW the new 12u team was put together, it's how the organization's president SAID the team was put together.

Magic Mike could have chosen to say nothing at all, but he chose to address certain allegations. That's ok. But the issue some people are having is that he was not truthful about it.

There would be an equal backlash of people saying "no fair my dd is good enough to play there why didn't she get a chance?"

You are technically right though the team was probably put together, but is it worth the energy to get after Mr Magic (sorry but I've seen the dude. Having a man crush on Channing Tatum could be accepted in certain circles...him...nah!!!)???
