[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent, I would always prefer my child not make a team if a coach doesn't see them as good enough to play on it.  Club's do that all the time though:  put players on a team because there are available roster spots.  A short term pain is better than a year of a slow death by a 1000 small cuts. [/quote]

I agree but it’s tough for a coach to determine how a player would pan out just from a few tryouts. How often do people get hired after a great interview but gets fired a few months later because they can’t do the job as expected?  Do all #1 Draft picks in the NFL have long careers even when the NFL has the most experience and high playing scouts and coaches or do some get cut after a few years?

Also, a paying bench player is better for some coach than an empty slot. It’s not right, but it is what it is. [/quote]

That is why I have a problem with U10 players being bench players.  They have to commit to the team for a year, but that is only appropriate if the coach also makes a commitment back.

Not everything in the DA is perfect, but I do like the playing time and start time rules, although that is for an older age group.  But to ask youth to not play for a full year is ridiculous.  And once they commit to a team, they can't even join another team. They are locked in. [/quote]
