[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's trash for u11 and you should talk to the coach first then the director and then leave if no action. It could be you are on the wrong team but they should find a place you get minimum 50% game time.[/quote]

OP made it sound like their kid isn’t getting as much playing time as they think their kid should get, not that they aren’t playing. Isn’t there a rule about minimum playing time at this age? Maybe check what the club’s or league’s rule is? If it’s not being met I think OP has a case to bring this up with the coach and/or club.

If the minimum (or 50%, since that is reasonable) is being met, I would recommend the kid talk to the coach first. Yes 10 is young but I also have a U11 and have noticed the coach is expecting the kids to start taking more ownership over things.  Maybe the parent can facilitate a conversation between the coach and the kid but it seems like a parent emailing to complain about playing time could just get dismissed as a whiny unrealistic parent even if that’s not fair. Whereas a kid asking a coach for feedback on what they specifically can work on/how they can earn more playing time could lead to the coach having a more favorable opinion of the kid and the effort they’re willing to put in.
