parents should research both of these thoroughly. ofc is a great place to check. unfortunately even with alot of research. this summer turned into a nightmare for our family. did not get what we paid for.

I would ask where the team has played in the past, not where they intend to play in the future. Just because they intend to play at a tournament in the upcoming season, doesn't mean they will be accepted.
Regarding player contracts, I've never seen one. Who has them and what do they include? Is this a code of conduct essentially? Something more? Maybe I am over simplifying but I was under the impression that agreements made with minors are voidable by minors. That's why banking institutions don't give loans to minors without another party involved that cannot void the contract. Are these really parent contracts then?

I'm leary of self promotion that never ends... talking about giving oneself credit constantly. When others outside the org give another org or coach credit, that to me is a good indicator of the situation. Seeing what tournaments that a coach/org can get into is a pretty good indicator of quality teams, doesn't mean they can coach or have a good connection with the players. Coaches with turnover are a sign as well. Using OFC plus talking to other parents at tournaments (if you can) is a great way to stay ahead of a potential "me me me" song and dance.
