[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With regard to #4, keep in mind that if we're talking about school-based teams the kids are, at a minimum, in 6th grade and probably older. A sixth grader might not be ready to independently ask the coach about playing time or position. A high-school student should be managing these things for him/herself. So yes, if your child is in sixth or seventh grade, a politely phrased question (e.g., what could my child do to earn more playing time, not why aren't you playing my child more) might be appropriate. After that, it's just obnoxious. [/quote] I think it's kind of over the top for a parent to ask about playing time for grade 6-7 teams; this is on the assumption that everybody gets playing time on such teams, though. Maybe that's incorrect, I have a limited range of observation (a few girl's sports).[/quote]
