[quote=Anonymous]OP here...

This is actually U10 soccer. So most kids are 9 and my son turns 9 in December.

My son's coach is also the "Director of Football". So he is in charge. In the spring they just had 1 team in his age group. They decided to add a 2nd in the fall. That's the only reason we stayed on. I thought a 2nd team would mean more playing time. Mostly it did, but I think that is just because they didn't have enough kids. They could only field a team by having 2-4 kids play up a year.

I did try talking to the coach about it in the spring. He was cagey. I should have taken that as answer. Last weekend I thought the coach had maybe just forgotten to sub in my son. He had been talking to an apparent friend the entire half. So I whispered to my son to be sure to stand near the coach and let him know he was ready. He went over to the coach, told him he's ready, and the coach said "I decide who plays" and told him to sit back down.

I agree that this was just a money grab. What a mistake![/quote]
