[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is a good team that’s likely not going to happen. “Everyone” is not already checked out.[/quote]

But that is the issue isn't it? People "check out" when the team doesn't do well.
[b]Whatever happened to working harder and resolving the issues?[/b] Not anymore I guess? Take the easy way out, quit and move on.
There are some circumstances where I guess it makes sense.[/quote]

Sounds like coach's job, doesn't it?[/quote]

Yes to a point but it's a quality the parent should instill in the child. But if parents are enabling the "moving on" behavior, the coach can't do much.
It is also tough to resolve a problem if everyone has jumped ship.[/quote]

I think what is lost in all of this is that soccer is a recreational activity that kids and parents choose to do. There isn't much that really needs to be worked out. If a kid isn't getting playing time a Club A, and a conversation or two may have happened and things one way or another didn't improve then move on.

Yes, yes, life lessons, stick it out, suck it up and all that. If the same thing happens after multiple clubs then the lesson isn't learned but sometimes a kid just wants to play, have a role or just fit in. And to make ones recreational spare time drudgery just to play then that is a lousy life lesson. The first obligation of your child playing a sport is them being happy and having fun. Not every team or every level of competition can afford that or accommodate that for every kid. It is then up to the family to find a place that meets the proper balance. [/quote]
