I've had 2 clubs block me on Facebook after I contacted them to ask for information about them recently!
The first one was a netball club; they said they weren't running at the moment, but they were holding some recreational sessions. I asked more than once where and when the recreational sessions were, and was only told that they were on Sundays at "the academy".
They asked about whether I'd played netball before, and when I told them what club I'd played at before they blocked me from sending any more messages on facebook without ever telling me when or where the recreational sessions were!
The 2nd one was a football club that I asked for information, and they wrote back and said "We're not sure what your interest is in our club, but we already get enough parental support" or something. And they blocked me from sending them messages too. Too right they're not sure what my interest is! They didn't exactly go out of their way to find out did they! And I don't even understand what the 2nd half of what they said means! You can only play for them if your parents are going to come and cheer you on or if you're the parent of someone else that's involved with the club or something?!
Is the idea that most clubs want new members, and make them welcome, a myth?
