Hi, I would like to share this with you all since this really just happened to my son. Actually I thought sports such as soccer would be good to encourage teamwork for children. Unfortunately things turned out unexpectedly bad for us. Maybe we are just \"suay\". When we joined one of the commercialised clubs run by Singapore's legendary soccer player, we were naive thinking kids would just have fun. The academy runs training at SUTD. After the first semester, they doubled our fees to $800+ because it got bought over by another guy. Management did not improve although the fees doubled. 3 weeks into 2nd semester, an admin called to inform that they made a mistake in scheduling our training sessions. This was after we had already moved my child's other enrichment classes. :scared: As my son was still so enthusiastic about it, I let him try for another semester, and we tried to accommodate their timing. During this time his team participated and won a tournament. Low and behold, there wasn't enough medals and only my son went home without one. He was shattered because he was recognised as the best player but he had to hide behind the banner because he didn't have a medal. The following days after was purely a mental torture for me to sort out the missing medal as the coach was basically telling me that he can't handle anything outside the field = you go figure your problem by yourself. Coach was also quite dishonest in many other things - which is another story that is too long to tell. Basically at the end of the day, when there was a reward, the coach came out and claimed glory, but behind all that glory, they just conveniently ignored their basic responsibility that is to become an honest educator. If I had to do it all over, I would absolutely have not put my son through this again. :slapshead:
