[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sucks for the kids on the lower team. They get less playing time while guest player plays most of the game so team can win. Think if you would want a better player playing on your child’s team taking playing time from your kid. You wouldn’t be happy. [/quote]

Our team only brings on guests so that we have at least a full side or one sub max, and the guest doesn’t start. If you have a good coach, having a guest is an asset for your team and doesn’t take away significant playing time from the regulars. We are really grateful to our guest players because without them, we would have to forfeit or not have any subs at all. My kid played in a summer tournament and due to 2 cases of covid and a broken collarbone, they didn’t have a single sub. A kid from a lower team guest played and it saved the tournament because it was blazing hot out and it would have been brutal without a sub. They won the tournament and the team was so thankful that this kid was willing to play last minute. [/quote]
