[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three kids in travel soccer and I have never noticed the favoritism you and others mention. Never. I have been on teams where the manager's kid doesn't start. I have a manager friend who's U14 kid has never advanced past the B team. I really haven't seen it ever over the years. What I see consistently across all the coaches and teams is that defenders come out a lot less than others players, sometimes not at all. I manage my youngest's team and he pretty much never came out of games when he was younger and played centerback. Now he's a midfielder and rotates with others.

Same with our team.  Our CDM and CBs rarely come out.  Usually only if their hurt or late game if we have the game in the bag or get stomped.

My kids team keeps the 4 starting defenders on the field almost all the time, they are u15. Same 4 kids the last 4 years so they build up chemistry and know how to communicate with each other. The team gives up more goals if one of them is subbed out so it's not hard to figure out why this happens. [/quote]
