[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the original post, Coaches can and do naturally develop favorites.

It is more than just starting them or rarely subbing them out at U12 and below.  It can be frustrating when they use them for 'examples' on how to do the drill correctly, always call on them, always put them in the middle, always use them as the 'neutral player,' and when their favorite player makes a mistake, they stop the play to let them do it over until they get it correct!  -All while the other kids are on the periphery and have to watch over and over.

A kid who is treated so well, will 100% pay attention and identify with the Coach far more then the other kids.

Then, there are the parents who talk to the Coach before or after a lot of practices.  So much so, you have to wonder what is going on.

We have had to put on feed back for the Coach to rotate the 'neutral players' more and mix the kids up more as they are still developing.

Its shocking to me a Coach doesn't know to do this. The Coach has very young kids, so its obvious he doesn't know how to deal with older kids.

Favoritism can easily occur after spending so much time together, the Coach must work on developing a skill to not let perceived favoritism ruin the Esprit d Corps of the team.[/quote]

this is a deep cut to our current top 20 ECNL team. It still happens there (not DMV)[/quote]
