[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]How important is team chemistry to your DC? Does your team have it?

My DC loves playing soccer, but lately has been coming home crying. DC feels not to belong to the team, and that the coach is not doing much to address it.

As a parent I try to remain objective, and I do not know what is happening while at practice. I do see clicks among kids, and that kids are excluding other kids that do not have “playdates”.

I keep telling my DC to toughen, play this season and we will reassess for the next year. At the same time I fee that from a motivated, talented kid, I now have a kid that lost self confidence (as teammates are not passing the ball, other to their “friends”), and lost an interest in playing.

Have you had a similar situation? I just feel we are investing too much time and money to be dealing with this drama. [/quote]

No offense meant here but. Every parent thinks their kid is "talented". Even if you think that most of the time its not true. So its best to keep that part to yourself. Next once you start competitive soccer you need to have your child learn to advocate for themselves. It looks bad when mommy and daddy telling the coach instead of the player addressing it. Its up to the coach and players to find a chemistry that works not the parents. Your child may need to find a team where they fit in better. We have the luxury living in this area to have an over abundance of clubs. Many choices find the right one.  Reality hits for everyone at some point and you start to see my kid isn't as great as I think and there's nothing wrong with that. You just find a level where your kid can still be challenged to get better but not in over their head where they will never be good enough to be productive.[/quote]
