[quote=Anonymous][quote=Nova2Euro][quote=Anonymous][quote=Nova2Euro]Of course coaches have biases--usually biases towards certain systems of play and the types of players that best suit them. Which is exactly the point I was making: if your kid isn't a good fit with a particular coach and his/her biases and therefore gets bumped off the team, there's not much hope of earning your way back onto the team and it's best, if you want to continue to progress in competitive football, to move on.

This is true at all levels up to professional. You will not change the coach's mind. Find a coach that values what the player brings to the field. [/quote]

Coaches are supposed to be teaching the game, but yes this proves my point.  Most coaches here don't teach the game, only the way they played it.[/quote]

Is it such a strange concept to you that some coaches work better with some players? It's the same with teachers, professors, bosses, everyone. I guess the difference is that you don't have as much control over your choice when it comes to teachers as you do with coaches. If a particular coach isn't working for your kid, count down the months and then move on. [/quote]

Not the pp but I have seen good soccer players demoted for not so good soccer players. The thing is the not so good soccer player fits the coach’s or club’s system. You see this a lot at big clubs that lock players in positions early- ie u10/11 you are locked in at defender and will only play that position. The demoted player is a good player but at the wrong club with the wrong coach and maybe the wrong position. You should always look for a new club if you are demoted or feel your kid does not fit the system or style of play. There are a lot of kids who do not fit one club but would be a great fit at another.

Also remember a lot of the parents telling you this coach or club is great is because the coach and club picked their kid. So always make your own evaluation and if you have misgivings move on down the road to the next club. [/quote]
