[quote=Anonymous]My DC was a guest player during a tournament last year. During the championship game, he played my DC the entire game. It was a very competitive and close game.  I heard after the game that lots of parents were really mad that their DC only got minutes while a guest player played the entire game. They didn’t care that my DC was the best player and the coach wanted to win the championship.

As a parent, I too agreed with the frustrations and anger as I would be too if I was in their situation. One parent decided to leave the team after this game. We don’t plan to play for them again as we don’t want don’t want to cause anymore issues.

The only thing I constantly teach my DC is to continue practicing and playing hard and never quit as we can’t control what/how coaches think or do. Some coaches evenly divided the playing time equally, while others play their best players more, or even play some players due to politics/relationships.

Life is very unfair as we all know. The earlier our kids know/recognize this, the better. But it should encourage them to work harder & smarter and not quit during the season or tournament. Also, telling our kids that changing teams is not quitting but do after the season. [/quote]
