As each year passes it seems that the word "commitment" means less and less to people. Some people say that the player is not on your team until money has changed hands. I 100% disagree. In my opinion, once a player accepts an offer that is the commitment. There are too many kids out there accepting offers then a day later rescinding that commitment to play. I wonder how the player and her parents would feel if a coach would call them a day later and tell them they are taking back their offer and she is not on the team anymore? I know exactly what would happen. The parents, in so many words, would say "We turned down other teams offers because she wanted to play for you. Now what is she going to do?" Coaches say the exact same thing when a girl bails on her commitment. "Now what are we going to do? We've told girls no because Suzy said she would play for us and now she's gone." Tryouts are no fun for the girls, parents or coaches so let's not make things more difficult than they already are.
