[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having kids go all the way to a game only to find out they aren't even allowed to sit on the bench is nasty.[/quote]

WOW  - For away games too???? I could understand supporting the team for home games, but at least they should give families the courtesy of deciding if they want to take a 2-3 hour ride for an away game, for their kid not to see the field. [/quote]

When you're part of a team, you're there for all of it, not just when the pictures get taken or when you feel like it. Playing in college is the same. Not many players from that 28 roster see meaningful minutes consistently every year that they're part of the team. Some players hit the field from freshman year, others are in development / on the bench until later and some never see the field. But they all want to be a part of it for one reason or another.

This is incredibly stupid for actual kids. College kids are a completely different example. They can get transportation on team buses/etc. Making a kid give up a weekend to cheer on teammates is not something that happens for most teams.[/quote]

We are talking about top ECNL U15 and up, which are college prep programs, not U-littles cheering on teammates. Players and their families don't travel to cheer on.[/quote]
