Equal time...but you have to sub smart.

The lowest kid must have at least two stars on the field with him.  Let the low kid do things like throw ins so that he feels a part of things and has successful moments.

My kids were starters most games, not because they were part of the A line. But because they were always put on the field with the stars of the team.

Put them in the positions where they do the least damage.  If the other team is very offensive, put the weak kids on office (not more than one weak kids at a time thought).  If the other team is weaker on offense, keep your weak players on defense with a really strong teammate back with them.

Give the weak kids a chance at goalie...they might surprise you.  Mine got put in the last game of the season, and had a shut out against a strong offensive team.

He couldn't catch or punt, was very slow and uncoordinated and was the kind of kid who got distracted by bugs and clover.  However, being put i. A small concentrated boclx with one single duty allowed him to be the star of one game.  He was so focused on not letting the ball by that he was able to concentrate on the game. He couldn"t catch or block the ball but he would ru. Right up and smother it, sometimes right at another kids feet.

Be smart about how you share time and how you assign positoons, and the weak kids will have far less impact on the game even with equal playing time.[/quote]
