[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would first talk to your child, just in case they told the coach they didn’t want to play. You’d be surprised how many kids tell the coaches they have a headache or stomach ache when they’ve never mentioned it to their parents. But be mindful of the phrasing you use. [/b][u]You don’t want your kid to feel defensive or project your negative feelings about it. Then, well after the game, email or text the coach. It gives everyone time to decompress and not feel put on the spot. If it’s rec, coaches should be well aware that every kid is supposed to play. [/quote] Yes, I was going to say this. Check in with your kid. It could be something as simple as DS said he didn't want to play, or when Coach said, "Ok, who hasn't been in yet?" 3 kids raised their hand and your DS didn't. Is the coach a parent of a player, or an assigned coach paid a stipend? [/quote]
