What if.....?

[playascabbie]

What if... a Manager advertises in June, July and Aug for players for his team. He didnt have a full team and was moving up a division in Fall. He advertised for the new division in his ads. They didn't go anywhere..ie state, WN, TC. What if he picks up a player in July, has her pay the start up fee, as well as Sept dues, then fails to put a team together. Does he owe the family back the start up fee and dues? The start up fee was to include items they didn't recieve, and of course dues for Sept. Just about $300. Apparently several families are in the same position.
What say you?

You should probably get your money back.

The coach likely incurred some costs with the expectation he would field a team. If he fails to field a team, he shouldn't expect those families that signed up with him to defray his upfront costs. Especially since those kids now have to go out and find another team to sign up with. And pay for.

One can only hope the coach didn't go whole hog and spend thousands on uniforms, equipment and facilities in advance. Ouch!

A better question is why would someone pay that far in advance, and before the entire team has been formed? The fact that he requested the money at all at that time, and under those circumstances, makes it sound a wee bit fishy.

I wouldn't hold my breath on this one.

Does this team have the old gear or does the team have to buy new gear? If they have the old gear, then its a BIG ????????????????

The team had been together for the season, but lost several players. The parent of this player had also been on a team that fell apart so they were looking for a new team. This had been there 1st season in TB and kept getting pressured by the coach, seemingly because he really wanted the player. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I have to question his motivation as he has taken several of his players from one organization to another. IMHO he should refund the money....if not all of it, most of it.
