[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as they are the same birth year or younger, it's "guesting" not cheating. It's normal for coaches to bring in players to help out when needed.

Now, if the coach didn't really need to do it but just brought them in to stack the deck, then I can fully understand why you would be upset. I might talk to the higher ups and get a sense if this is SOP. If so, you might decide to change clubs for next year.[/quote]

Everyone showed up. We were able to sub out every player when needed. He was definitely stacking the deck.[/quote]

But was it illegal? Was it cheating? If not you need to leave it alone.[/quote]

Yes, you shouldn't assume that the coach did anything against the rules.  Soccer is the sport I'm most familiar with, and virtually all tournaments permit teams to bring up to 3 guest players.  A coach's decision to do so may not be popular with the kids and parents who are displaced by the guest players, but it absolutely 100% within the rules.  Check whether the league allows this before you talk to the coach or his boss.

You may well still have a legitimate complaint about why he brought the players, how he handled the situation, and the effect on the regular team players, but don't go in there guns a blazin' making accusations if the coach did not actually "cheat".[/quote]
