[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Within reason, yes.  Not starting doesn’t mean you can’t get plenty of playing time later.  My kids have had a number of coaches who use this rule, but have never seen it enforced where the parent reached out in advance to let the coach know heir child would be late.  See their kid sit on the bench to start the game can be a powerful motivator for some parents to take practice seriously.

From a more practical standpoint, parents who are chronically late to practices often cut it close on arriving for games as well, and their kids end up needing to warm up on the sidelines before they’re ready to go in.  No coach is going to set themselves up to scramble for a change in starting line up when Larla still isn’t at the field 5 minutes before game time.  They would prefer to start people they can count on to show up.[/quote]

This. Pretty standard rule. This isn’t rec league. Tryouts are every day. Reasonable consequences for not meeting team expectations.[/quote]
