Your kid just isn’t good enough. Sorry, but it isn’t the coaches, travel soccer or anyone’s fault. Moving forward with how your kid improves is up to you though.  You can blame a team, coach, club, travel soccer culture all that you want if it makes you and some supporters feel better but the current soccer landscape is what it is now.

So, you can pout about it or you can look for ways to help your kid get better. From playing wall ball (free) to watching pro soccer on TV to finding a trainer these are all things you can control.

You can demand coaches and clubs names just as you can demand more playing time online but neither will provided because you’re not entitled to either.

So, when you tryout for your next team you should raise your concerns right up front.

And here is a thought that has been mentioned. Talk to the coach! There is an entire spring season yet to be played and the kid is only 9-10 years old and their soccer life has just begun.

Too scared to promote the names of clubs and coaches limiting playing time for 9 year olds obviously.  You are ridiculous.  Just admit it.  There is no justification for putting a 9 year old on a team and taking money for it and then embarrassing him and his parents for weeks.  Absent a legitimate injury or team issue a coach just has to deal with it until the next year's team formation.  As always, if a coach or club does not want to deal with a weaker player it is simple -- do not put them on the team.  And, do not take the kid's parents' money.  Easy.  Oh -- you and the club want that money?  Work to make the kid better and play him/her as much as everyone else.  The kids are 9 and 10.  There is not a coach in the world who can successfully predict how they will be when they are 19.   If there was -- they would not be working for any club in the U.S. that's for sure.
