[quote=Anonymous]My kid is U14 and the best kids get quite a bit more time than the middle and the alot more than than the weakest players during competitive games.  If the game is very competitive, then the top kids only get subbed out for short breaks usually once a half.  I don't see that as doing anything to win. I see it as letting the top kids compete when they have the opportunity.  The weaker kids get more playing time when they play weaker teams.  
I personally have a big problem with belittling.  If I, as a parent, hear of it, I go to my kid and talk to him about how this behavior hurts the team and he needs to find a way to try to handle it whether it's he stand up to the bully or he goes to the captains or even the coach...and I monitor. If they are belittling him then it's a conversation about standing up for yourself. If the coach is belittling the players, then it's a conversation with me and the coach. As to practices...why the heck is your coach missing so many practices that this is an issue? If he's missing enough practices for this to be a problem, then that in itself is a problem that I would address with the team manager first and then the coach if necessary and then the club if necessary.
