[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually lawsuits by youth sport clubs are fairly common over internet posts.  Often there is an attorney in the club willing to take a matter on.  Clubs work hard to maintain good reputations.   No one should ever support someone making a libilous statement about a club.  True statements are obviously welcome.  Opinion statements are not libel.  [/quote]

So, at the end of the day you believe it would be better to sue a club for playing a kid the suggested minimum for even a recreation level than have the kid play wall ball, juggle or practice skill moves for ten minutes a day in order to become a better player?[/quote]

That is odd.  Where did you get that from?

It’s really simple.  Don’t post on a website that club X’s position is XYZ if you don’t know what Club X’s position is on that subject.  If you know the Club’s position then stating it is fine. If you have an opinion on the Club’s position and state that it is your view, then that too is fine as opinions are not libilous speech.  (There are limitations there as well though.)

The following are taken from a variety of soccer clubs regarding playing time in travel. Please read and then go away:

[b]How does travel soccer differ from the regular house or recreation soccer league?

SYC soccer travel teams are competitive. Therefore, making the roster, and staying on the roster, must be earned based on the team member’s play. In the house or recreation soccer league, all players are placed on a team roster regardless of playing ability. Recreation soccer also has unique requirements to encourage participation by all players such as all players must play 1/2 of each game. Travel soccer playing time is based on the team’s needs and is at the coach’s discretion[/b]

[b]8. How much will my child play?

Answer: The League and Amherst Soccer have a rule that “every child who plays on a team will play 50% at age 8-12”.  Sometimes this is difficult to assess and control at each game but, should be equalized over the season.  Additionally, each child should play a variety of positions on the field.  If your child is only playing one position or not enough, you have an obligation to ask the coach why and contact the Travel Coordinator.  The best defender at 10 years old could be the best forward at 15 and the best player at 10 is many times not the best at 15 due to growth and development differences.   Coaches are encouraged to train the total player and not focus all of their attention on winning. After age 12, more specialization will begin although the coaches are encouraged to play the kids at more than one position. You will see the players themselves starting to determine where they feel the most comfortable by 14.  ASA has changed coaches in the past for failure to adhere to the 50% rule. Older players will receive more or less playing time based upon the discretion of the coach. Factors that affect time include: attendance, attitude, effort, and ability. ASA coaches at U14-19 make every effort to be fair to all players.[/b]

PLAYING TIME AND FIELD POSITIONS… There are NO playing time guarantees but each
player will get some playing time… Coaches decide what player will play in what position, but they are
encouraged to give players the chance to play different positions.

Eastlake Playing Time

Based upon the size of the roster, there is a limited quantity of playing time available during games. Playing time will be based on the following factors:

Attendance and Effort at Practice: This is done to reward players who attend practice, are cooperative and work hard while there. Players who are less skilled, but attend practice and give sincere effort will be rewarded with game playing time at the expense of those who do not attend mandatory practice sessions

Ability: All factors being equal, the greater a players understanding and vision of the game and the greater her physical ability, the more playing time one can expect.
