[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re late to practice, you don’t start in the next game.

To me, when we’re talking about young kids with 5pm practice time whose working parents have to transport them, no.

And fwiw, my own kid is never late, but to me this is unfair unless the kids are old enough to be getting themselves to practice.[/quote]

In travel, this is a pretty standard practice. [b]If there are extenuating circumstances, the player and/or parents can reach out to the coach and they can almost always figure out a solution. [/b]For most players being late is a rare thing but in our experience, the chronically late are the ones late to everything and never reach out for help. [/quote]

THIS. Our coaches and most of the parents on our team know we will be late to most practices due to my long commute from work to pick up DS, and then drive an hour in heavy traffic to get to practice (and I'm a single parent who does all the driving to/from practices). But at least we make it to almost all practices unlike others, and we are always early to games

Coaches need to understand the burden of early practice start times as many of us work in 9-to-5++ (more than 40 hours/week) jobs dealing with long commutes (no telecommute option for me).[/quote]
