[quote=Anonymous]Just a thought.  My son is a U10.  His coach this year said if the kids don't come to practice and don't have a valid excuse, they are not going to play as much as the kids that do.  I think this is fair.
Also, effort during practice goes a long way as well.  Kids that seem to not care/not be trying also do not play as much.  Same goes for games.  Some days the kids show up to games and seem to be out of it.  They are kids and everyone has off days.  The coach doesn't seem to play those kids as much on those days.  
Son is on a mid-level NCSL team for what it is worth.  In closer games against good teams, I would say that the top 8 kids play the most.  The bottom 3 definitely don't get as many minutes.  However, in games where it is a blowout, the other kids play.  Over the course of the season, they all get equal playing time.  
I have to say... my kid plays almost the whole game and has all season. I would be pretty annoyed if he was not getting playing time.  The entire point at this age is development.  You don't develop if you don't play.  So I would absolutely be looking for a new team.[/quote]
