[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]…for top team selection and/or preferential treatment? It seems to be the only thing that makes sense with some of the u9-u12 teams my DC has played for over the years. It’s obvious to all the other parents that a kid should not be on a team or get reasonable minutes, so one conclusion could be that parents are paying on the side? Is this a thing?[/quote]

Various discussions and threads about preferential treatment for parents and players and now allegation of paying?  Seriously?

One of the dumbest conspiracies.  What’s obvious to “other parents” is not obvious to a reasonable person.  Ask coaches of any sport and they will tell you that parents all think their kid is somehow better than other kids. [/quote]Saw this on 2 teams for my son and it was confirmed pay to play to coach to get their kid on the field early and often. In both cases, coach didn't have another job so this scheme allowed them to make enough money to do soccer as their day job. You definitely want to avoid this type of coach. My kids 2 other coaches had good day jobs, weren't on the take and were clearly much more fair with playing time. When the coach is "offering" these extra lessons to their players, as a parent there definitely feels like it is some kind of troll toll.[/quote]
