[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's fine to play the better kids more, as long as the other kids are playing some. My kid is 9 and is fine at soccer, but not great. Frankly, he wants the better kids to play more b/c they like to win. That's reality. IMO, if your kid is not a great player by 9-10, playing a few more minutes during the game is not going to make a difference. [b]Generally, the really good players are on travel anyway, so they can't show up for every game.[/b] So the non-stars are going to get plenty of play time. And if you really want your non-star kid to get better at soccer, put him/her in clinics, etc. That's the way to improve...[/quote] As a former rec coach, I think this is even more reason to play everybody the same. If I can't depend on your kid to show up for every game, don't expect me to play him more than anybody else. Making a commitment to a TEAM and meeting those obligations should be one of the key lessons of rec sports.[/quote]
