[quote=Anonymous]I disagree. This is a lesson for both you and your son. Your son can advocate for himself. You coach him through what to say. Coaches respect that more and will see the desire to play coming from your son, not you, and that’s what is important.

[quote=Anonymous]I would say it's ok for the parent to talk to the coach at this point also. The coach might not realize he's not playing your son....I've seen U11 coaches leave kids out of games except for 5 minutes due to poor  time management, and they all should be playing half the game at that age as a developmental rule, but alas here we are as paying customers.  I think the squeaky wheel gets some grease in this case.  Bring it up, figure it out and get him back out there.  My kid loved her team up until the point the coach left her out for 90% of the game, then she immediately felt bad about herself and didn't want to play on that team any more.... Coach just had poor time management skills.  She's been playing 80% of the game ever since. Good luck![/quote][/quote]
