Poaching...

[huffsw]

When conductiong try outs there should be no communication between other competition coaches and the players trying out for the team unless their is a mutual understanding between the Try out Coach and the other competition/select coach. This tends to create tension and animosity amongst the coaches. Angxiety is already approaching a boiling point and this type of behavior is inexcusable.

Any thoughts??

I have no idea what you mean here???
Do you mean another teams coach signing on a player whilst he is training with you??

Harder to do, but I think communicating is a better thing than not, and just stealing a kid from another competitive team without the other coach knowing is what is going to really increase the tension and anxiety.

So, I guess I disagree with the point given for consideration. But it sounds like you pulled that quote from somewhere else. What's the context?

I have heard that there has been calls and letters sent to players that play on other competition teams in the same league... Is this considered poaching??

No. This is requesting a transfer possibly, and doing it through the right lines.
It's a part of life that things will be slighty unethical/illegal to begin with, players won't be approached for a transfer before having spoken to them/dad first.
