[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child join a parent-coached MSI Classic level team this year. The coach seems good, but I am surprised that he plays his child for all but 5 minutes of every single game. His child is good, sure, [b]but not amazing—not scoring a lot of goals[/b], makes plenty of mistakes just like the other kids. My kid isn’t the best on the team, so I get that my kid isn’t played a ton, but the inequity between coach kid and everyone else is blatant.

Would this bother you? We came from rec where everyone played pretty equally. Is this just something to expect?[/quote]

Scoring a lot of goals does not make a player amazing, nor does not scoring make them good.  No age group was given and I don't know much about MSI classic.

Things to focus on in time other than coach's kid:

fitness level - who long can that kid be active without tiring
concentration - are they focused on the game, opponents, teammates
following coaching guidance - are they trying to playing the position or chasing the ball
position - can they cope with the running if wings, or at defense where it can be less tiring
skills - touch, weight, etc

or maybe the coach thinks his kid is the best or needs the extra fitness and needs the time.

Are you worried about soccer skills development or just equal time.
