My four year old's soccer coach was leaving his organization, and I asked him if he was interested in doing private lessons in my neighborhood. He said he was, but he'd signed a non compete with the local children's soccer organization.
It demolished my opinion of the soccer group that they are making 22 year olds sign non competes.
(I did tell him the non-compete was void in California, but he still didn't want to deal with it)
- pm24601 9y agoPlease step up and complain to the soccer association. Tell other parents, etc. You have more bargaining power than the coach who needs the reference and the income. Please help make life better for the next coach. You can't be threatened or retaliated against.

- pm24601 9y agoHe has more power than you seem to think. I say this based on my experience with civic activism. A surprisingly small number of people who are willing to speak up can have a large/oversized impact. Power is not granted - power is demanded/taken. One person who tells the other parents can make change happen. Your answer is the answer of learned helplessness.
