[quote=Anonymous]In rec, especially in 2nd grade, equal time is the standard.

You may not have enough familiarity with the kids to pick up on which kids are asking to be subbed out. You may not know that one of the kids who's staying in didn't get to play at all last week and the coach tries to make things equal over time. Or the kid who's only played 15 minutes total has just gotten cleared to return to play from an injury and the parents asked for limited field time in this game. Some coaches have rules. I think 2nd grade is a bit young for it, but my DC had a rec coach in an older grade where if you missed practice, you were only getting the minimum playing time in the next game. Or if you were late to the game, you were only getting the minimum playing time. Some kids don't want to be there, and the coach is doing his best to encourage them onto the field.

It's possible your son saw a problem. He could tell his supervisor and ask for guidance. But generally, I would expect kids and parents to handle playing time concerns.

It's very sweet that your son was so concerned with fairness.[/quote]
