We are having to leave our current allstar program due to unkept promises that were made by the owner. I have documented proof of promises that were made, discussions with coaches, additional promises to correct, etc. My two daughters, my husband and myself have all made every effort to make things work this season. Unfortunately, we are having to part ways.
The owner of the gym is refusing to release my daughters so that they can compete with another program that wants them for the remainder of the season and for their Worlds team. The gym we are coming from has only had my daughters compete one time and that was as a level five OPEN team. They do not have what I would call ownership of my children for a Worlds program and have to intentions of having my children compete for their Worlds team as that team is full. He won't give me a reason as to why he won't release them other than, "they were here first."
Do I have any recourse or ability to dispute his decision to not release my daughters? I know that this rule is in place to prevent parents from jumping to what they perceive as better teams for Worlds, but where is the protection from owners who will say what you want to hear to get your commitment.
Thank you so much for reading and I would appreciate any advice.
