Those are two more "ifs" we can't answer--whether the parents paid thousands and whether these players are old enough to be showcased.
FWIW, in one of his other posts, the OP says his own kid is playing 14U.
It's exactly what occurred in the situation I first posted. Even at 14u a coach should be developing them for high school, not throwing players under the bus to chase a trophy. It's not the players fault the coach didn't recruit better before the season.
