Contracts for visiting teams

[chelseafc1975]

We had a match scheduled against PJPII (it had been scheduled since October) and it was cancelled less than 12 hours before kick-off. We were upset. Not the first time something like this has happened.

 

In the past, I have thought match contracts were going a bit too far and chose to never use them. Curious how many coaches might be using them now (contract sent to visiting coach that is signed and returned...a fee is charged the school if the match is cancelled).

 

Thanks all.

We have used them in the past. And we have done them for the same reasons--having teams cancel at the last minute.

Of course, I feel that the A.D.'s should be the ones that do them. We as coaches have enough to do during the season.

Also, when you do them--it does get the AD's involved, because it is dealing with $$$. I doubt that JP would have canceled on you if they were facing a $250--$500 fee.

Best of luck.

A reliable source told me that JP played in Chattanooga on Saturday against Notre Dame. Why would they cancel a Friday night match, but then play one on Saturday??

they were supposed to play Ooltewah on Friday night and Notre Dame on Saturday. Not sure if either actually happened.

They did play ND on Sat.

Riverdale - you guys need a clue. You cancel a game after the Baylor team drives 1 1/2 hours to play at your school. All of the Baylor parents make the drive up, as well, only to be told the game has been rained out. If you were afraid of ruining your football field, then why wasn't the game canceled earlier in the week? What a waste.

Actually to get your facts straight Baylor drove down here and the field was really bad. Riverdale coach said it is up to Baylor if they want to play or not. Baylor decided no and we'll try and play later on in the season. It was up to Baylor, not Riverdale. I would actually try and find out what really happened before you try and post something on here
