[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m coaching my 12 year old’s rec/church type league team in an upcoming basketball season. Rosters recently went out and I sent an email to team parents introducing myself and sharing season schedule details.

I received a reply from a parent stating that her child will not be able to attend any of the scheduled practices due to a conflict with the child’s club-level commitments for another team child is on in the same sport. However the child will be able to attend games.

My reaction is WTF! How can you expect your kid to play on a team without attending practices… sends the wrong message to the teammates who are working hard and attending practice. You’re basically telling me your club team is priority and this team is a distant second.

How would you deal with this/respond? We are not desperate to fill the roster/have plenty of players so it matters nothing to me to have this player there for games (or not). [/quote]

That kid will probably be your best player.[/quote]

Who cares? Its rec. If the child doesn't want to fully participate, she can sit on the bench and play the minimum time. [/quote]
