[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were to watch my sons team which is not a top team but is competitive, you would see a few kids who don't belong. They aren't being paid. It's kind of the opposite. We have a few boys who have been part of the crew for a few years but haven't developed at the same rate. They dont have the same field awareness. But they are part of the team and the best way to learn is through play time. They don't start and they sit the bench when play is close. I keep wondering if they won't make the team next year, but they are friends of ours and it's kind of heartwarming that the team can be competitive and kind. Other families cheer them on. I like being part of a team that gives opportunity.[/quote]
What would you think if they made the team over kids you know are better after tryouts this spring? Bench chemistry is important?[/quote]

I am having this exact thought as tryouts are now and I'd rather the more talented player get the spot. However, once the teams are decided, I'd rather even the weaker kids are treated well. So for this season I support playing weaker players equally. But for next season I hope the most talented player gets a spot.

I know my story isnt super relevant to the topic but i think it shows that you can't always know what is going on.

Also at that age kids have good and bad days. Today my son scored his teams only two goals. He goes games in a row without scoring usually. The other team watching today probably thought he was a top player. He's not. But he had a great day today. Just like some players who are normally stars made a lot of mistakes. It's weird to make an assumption about an opposing team based on one game.[/quote]
