[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leaving SYC because our current coach plays favoritism. [/quote]

Hard works FAVORS those who put in the hard work [/quote]

I always laugh when parents get upset if their kid doesn't start or get a lot of play time.  There is ONE THING coaches care about at any competitive travel club - winning. If your kid is good enough they will start and get play time.  If they are not their play time will be less.  Don't blame the coaches.  Their job is to win games.  This isn't rec league.  It's competitive travel.

Two years ago I was talking to parents who complained their kids weren't playing as much as others.  I stayed quiet.  But, I knew their kids never practiced at home.  They never did any extra training.  They came to practice and games and that's it.  Other kids, the ones who started and played more, were training at home.  Even basic stuff like juggling for 10-15 minutes a day or doing possession drills at home for 5-10 minutes.  It adds up and the better players always find the field more.

Don't blame the coach your kid isn't playing.  [/quote]

The goal of a youth coach is to develop players
If they're on the roster, they should play or not be on roster at all

How they gonna get better not playing and how are they motivated to train harder knowing they ain't playing on Saturday?[/quote]

+1 There are two major parts to development in any sports endeavor, 1. Practice and 2. Execution (playtime). Kids will only improve so much if all they get is practice. All parents pay the same amount, so if you are not going to play a child then they should be put on a "practice squad" and be charged less. But these[b] coaches[/b] are happy to take the lower player's parents money with grand promises of future playtime. [/quote]

It's not the coaches, it's the clubs.[/quote]
