[quote=Anonymous]Your son is U15 now, going to U16 next year.  This isn't game minutes mismanagement.

Your son should talk to the coach and ask if this is due to the new boy being better.  Ask if it's possible to get more minutes at his current position or if the coach sees that he can get more minutes playing a different position.  Ask what does he need to work on to help his team.  Your son should ask how to get more minutes if that's his goal.  He can also ask, as this is the end of the season, if the club's plan is for him to move down a level?

My guess is he's going to be asked to move down.  So he'll probably get a good amount of minutes on the lower team or you can see if another club team is a better fit for him.

I've seen kids move to 3 different clubs at the same level before the child/parents realize being a pro/college player/high school star/whatever isn't in the stars before moving down a level where it's the right competition for the ability.  Good luck to your son.[/quote]
