[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is U14 and trying to move up a team in her club. She is committed, works hard, and loves the game. The Coach asked her to guest play two weekends back in a EDP game with the top team but she sat on the bench most of the time and was on the field for maybe 5 minutes. She wasn't asked to practice with the top team during the week either so I am not sure whether it really gave her an opportunity to prove her mettle. The manager said they may ask her to play again this weekend but I am wondering if its even worth it - drive 3 hours to and from for a 5 minute play time?! Please help me make sense of this.[/quote]

Well since you know that she is only getting 5 minutes of playing time, she was most likely asked to join...just in case.   In case other girls got injured and they needed to pull from the bench.  Having the exposure to a higher level of play is great, not so much if it is a waste of a day and she does not have a positive experience.  You could just have her available for local games so you don't waste time and incur additional expenses.  If they ask her to practice regularly with the higher team, then you could consider her playing out of town games.[/quote]
