[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been a ‘the coaches know what they are doing’ hands off parent, but we are 7 games in and my kid has not started on. He very obviously gets less playing time than the ‘stars’ (whose only goal is to grab the ball and take all the way themselves). Additionally, the coach at practice is never at games, we have a different game day coach. It’s a club that says the focus on development. On previous teams my kid was the top goal scorer, and works well with them team (but not this team that never passes). Is it time to talk to the coach? [/quote]

What do you mean talk to the coach? I think it's time to switch clubs. I do think it's bad coaching to start the same kids every time at this level but this wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. The bigger issues are the playing time and the fact the coach lets players "take the ball all the way themselves." It make the stars look cool and parents love to cheer when this happens but it's not good soccer if this is the only way the team is making goals.[/quote]
