[quote=Anonymous]So I coach a bunch of 8-9 year olds in rec soccer and have a few superstars on the team. Since they are young and it's rec, I give equal playing time to all as long as the kids are trying out there. This has cost us some games against teams that play their key players the entire game, but I am okay with that because I don't believe the final score is what youth rec sports is all about. Having said that, is there an age even in rec where you think the better players should receive more playing time? I would hate to penalize kids if they are really giving their best effort, but I suspect there would also be some parental pressure to play to win as the kids get older. In this ultra-competitive area, I'd like to hear what other coaches are doing. Thanks.[/quote]
