[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the outrage. I would not complain when an experienced coach gives more of his / her time for free to improve my kid's skills. If you have something more important scheduled at 8, go ahead and tell the coach that you've got places to be. The coach is not going to use force to keep your kid after the official end of the practice. [/quote] Because my kid doesn’t want to be pulled from the end of practice because I want to get home and make sure everyone has their homework done,etc, before bed. Because the kids are worried that the coach will unfairly penalize them for “leaving early” Because youth sports are not that important that coaches need another half an hour to impart their wisdom. There are other things in some people’s lives besides youth activities. It’s not fair to consistently go over a scheduled practice. It’s rude to make parents and siblings sit in a car for extra time wondering how long it will be. Self important and rude.[/quote] Even though I would personally value the extra time that the coach offers, I do understand where you are coming from and I acknowledge that our circumstances are different. It looks to me that the club culture doesn't fit yours. You like a structured environment, where an activity starts on time and ends on time. It might be time to find a different club that values timing to the same extent as you do. This became extremely clear after you called the coach "self important and rude."[/quote]
