[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So,

Coach has a son who plays on the team.  Interestingly enough while other kids are rotated out to give everyone playing time and or for strategic advantages, the Coach's son comes out rarely and only for short periods.  What/How to say to coach "play fair" with time and rotation without creating a dust up?  If you want everyone to progress and get better in game situations then they all need turns in game situations, and your son needs to sit the bench for stretches, just like everyone else.

I like the Coach, I don't think he's a bad guy, but I try to suggest some equity, it may go south for both of us, and I don't want to jeopardize my son's time, production, and integration with the team.

If this is a rec league there are likely equal playing rules already in place.

Parent coaches kids, especially in a rec environment, generally do get more playing time it is just the way it works. Not fair, not right but they will argue, "I volunteer to coach" and will play some form of moral high ground when in most cases they volunteer to coach specifically so that they have control over their kid's training.
