[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The coach is terrible on many levels.   You should complain to the club,  and maybe find a new team for the Spring season.

But as for skipping the 2nd day of the tournament,  you have to ask yourself this question: what lessons do you want your son to learn from this experience?  [/quote]
My husband thinks it’s important to show our son we have his best interests in mind and support and believe in him. I agree .[/quote]

Different poster here: But didn’t you show that by advocating for him in your follow-up conversations with the coach? And don’t you “show” that by telling your son “I believe you.” 
What does not going today show exactly? What does it accomplish? How is your son made better by not showing up today? 
(I’m asking honestly. There’s no judgment in my questions.  This is a really tough situation because there are several layers of emotion here. I’m not sure what I’d do, but I know I’d be asking myself these questions.)[/quote]
[b]He won’t have to spend half the day in the car and sitting in the cold. It’s his weekend and has school tomorrow[/b]. [/quote]

That’s what happened yesterday. I think that if you had some assurances that he would play a decent amount today, you’d go. Call the coach. See what he says his plan is for ensuring player time. You’ll get a sense if he is truly remorseful about what happened yesterday. [/quote]
