[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well there are two possible positions here:

1.  That playing a kid at u9/u10 for only the league required minimum is a good thing.

2.  That playing a kid at u9/u10 for only the league required minimum is a bad thing.

So - come on all you posters who say it is a good thing:  prove it. Stand up for your position and tell us the u9/u10 clubs and coaches who uphold this stance so that they can be acknowledge.  In short, name names.  Or, alternatively, admit that the position is stupid and kids on the team should play as much as possible.  [/quote]

No, you haven’t read anything at all. The position that keeps getting stated but never understood is:

Playing time in travel is earned. 50% is a reasonable expectation for all players and anything more is earned. If your kid cannot crack more than 50% of playing time on the current team then the kid should drop a level where they should get more playing time at an appropriate level. There are A, B, C and D teams for this very purpose.

So, if a kid wants more playing time on their current team then train and get better otherwise look for a lower level team that is more appropriate skill level wise. There is a travel team level for nearly every kid. [/quote]
