[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The coach is terrible on many levels.   You should complain to the club,  and maybe find a new team for the Spring season.

But as for skipping the 2nd day of the tournament,  you have to ask yourself this question: what lessons do you want your son to learn from this experience?  [/quote]
My husband thinks it’s important to show our son we have his best interests in mind and support and believe in him. I agree .[/quote]

Different poster here: But didn’t you show that by advocating for him in your follow-up conversations with the coach? And don’t you “show” that by telling your son “I believe you.” 
What does not going today show exactly? What does it accomplish? How is your son made better by not showing up today? 
(I’m asking honestly. There’s no judgment in my questions.  This is a really tough situation because there are several layers of emotion here. I’m not sure what I’d do, but I know I’d be asking myself these questions.)[/quote]
He won’t have to spend half the day in the car and sitting in the cold. It’s his weekend and has school tomorrow. [/quote]

This is exactly what my wife would do. But this could be a situation where you can use to motivate your son. Ask him how it felt like being on the bench?  No good right?  Then encourage him to practice harder so that he will never have to be in this situation again. People say it’s better to “Get Even rather than Get Mad” so make the coach regret that he overlooked your son. [/quote]
My son is one of the top three players on the team, and typically plays most of the game. It’s just the coach had elite players in his normal position.[/quote]

You really need to rethink a team sport.  Maybe something based on individual performance would be better for your family?  [/quote]
