[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole question reeks. Honestly, you want to go around your team’s back to play elsewhere and not have anyone know?  And when your kid is tired or beat up from another game, or another parent or coach hears what’s happening, you say what exactly? Jeez, just be up front. 
“I want my kid to have more playing time. He would like to guest play with x.”

Your suggestion of being “up front” with a coach makes you sound like a clown and puts your coach on the defensive.  “I want my son to have more playing time” (read: YOU aren’t happy with your kid’s playing time).

Why is it going behind a teams back? Why is this any different than a kid playing soccer and also on a football team or a baseball team during the same season? Provided the practices and game schedules don’t clash, who cares of a player is double rostered?

Your kid wants a double dose of soccer vs another sport, and as long as the schedules don’t interfere, have at it.

Love the personal attacks. Way to go. NO, you are wrong. A player owes their primary team a few things, including honesty. Overtraining is a real thing. Injury in someone else’s game is a real thing. At this level, ECNL level, it matters. I would be very unhappy as a coach or manager if I heard a kid was playing on another team and didn’t share. Plus because of the carding situation, it would be against league policy.

Eh, no.  Against league policy? If they are separate teams in two different leagues (e.g., ECNL & NCSL), exactly what league policy is being violated? Pretty sure we established it’s two different governing bodies with separate carding systems.

With respect to injuries and over training…explain to me again the difference between playing on two different soccer teams vs. a soccer team and a football team in the same season? MANY kids do this (soccer and ‘insert sport here’). If they don’t overlap, what difference does it make? It’s taboo if a player is injured playing for another club, but no issue if said child is injured playing football, swimming, basketball, etc., during the same season?

And do you really believe any practice over 3x a week and one game each weekend constitutes “overtraining”?
