[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP said the son comes out "rarely" and for "short periods" I don't understand the beef, but if you can do a better job why don't you coach.[/quote]

Sorry, not helpful.  I am trying to find a good solution; my son is not leaving the team, these are his friends, and it's good training.  He, the Coach, and Coach's son are friends (think bday parties and sleep-overs);

So my two options as I see it are to ask one of the less vocal parent to talk to Coach; I talk to Coach, or I STFU.

I'm leaning towards S'ingTFU - this will play itself out; Coach will be exposed or he will adjust.  My son gets playing time and is one of the better players - I'm actually less worried about him.  When I notice what I perceive to be an injustice it raises my hackles.  The fact that I notice a play time injustice on a soccer team with 10yos makes my blood boil; A better coach will coach a team to play together, not rely on his son and other role players.

Thanks for your input Soccer DCUM.[/quote]

Nobody claimed the answer would be helpful and most folks never claimed there was a solution. What you are being told is that nothing you say or have someone else do your dirty work via proxy will matter.

It is how it is on EVERY TEAM when a parent is coach. If you can solve the Parent Coach paradox then I suggest you work on string theory.[/quote]
