[quote=Anonymous]This isn't a question of "equal playing time." It doesn't sound like OP cares if their kid gets the same amount of playing time as other kids.

More that he is not playing at all even as other kids are subbing in 3-4x, plus the team is short because people who didn't show. For 8u rec league soccer, that's weird and worth asking the coach about.

All the early elementary rec sports leagues my kids were in had an "everybody plays" rules so if my kid was riding the bench for an entire game, I would definitely follow up to fine out what the deal was. Maybe my kid broke a rule and the coach had previously established that the consequence was not playing. Maybe my kid is saying he's sick or injured, in which case I should know. Maybe the coach literally just forgot about my kid because a lot of kids look alike or have this same name, in which case it's important to bring that to the attention of the coach so it's corrected.

The whole point of sports at this level is participation.[/quote]
