[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why parents put up with this. As a coach, I can tell you that any player on a team U14 and under should get at least one half playing time. They are developing and it is ok for a team to lose a game or two. Unfortunately, you get coaches with high egos and they want to win at all cost (including your kid's playing time, money and development). Always, always do your due diligence before accepting to join a team. Don't be afraid to discuss this with your coach now (in a professional way) so that he/she is aware that you are worried. If it your player continues to not get playing time, brining it up to the Director. There are plenty of clubs in the DMV for your player.

Note - At U15 and up it is when the best players get the most playing time. Developmental stage is still active but winning is more important now.

Good luck and sorry to hear you wasted your whole weekend just to go see your team play and your player be an spectator too. This is not health for players U14 and under. They start to question their soccer abilities, skills and self confidence. Not healthy and a good coach knows that very well. There are many bad coaches here. There are many good coaches too. Just find the right one for your player. Ask many questions, before you commit to a team. [/quote]
