[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New to travel DD is 2012 team. Tournament this past weekend and she had limited playing time. Sunday was 7 mins total. I don’t want to be that parent approaching the coach but I also don’t need to waste a weekend day driving DD anywhere from 1-2 hours each way for an away game for her to sit on the bench for the majority. If there are 14+ kids going is it ok to not go? Talk to the coach? Or do we suck it up and go? [/quote] U14 is a good time for kids to start learning to advocate for themselves. Maybe initially have your daughter talk to the coach - and focus the conversation on what she needs to do individually to get better and earn more playing time. If that conversation between player and coach isn’t helpful, you, as the parent, can then step in. But we do our kids no favors contacting coach on their behalf at this age. [/quote]
