[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Self-entitlement.  That’s the problem.  The parents are passing the entitlement down the line.

Maybe Coach a team.  Give your time and get off work early and not have your kid ever show up for practice—ain’t gonna play on my team.

What a douchebag.  His tiny Michael Jordan.  We should be so lucky to have him grace our bench.[/quote]

Not a PP, but couldn't disagree more.  I've coached my u10 kid's rec team for 3 years.  Priorities are fun, sportsmanship and development.   My four best players all play either travel soccer or travel baseball.  They keep coming back to the team because it's fun and they love their team mates.  It seems stupid to punish them for that with less play time.  Sometimes it's better when they miss practice so we can focus more on the kids who really need the soccer help.  None of this takes away their sense of dedication to the team in my opinion.  This is for Rec, I could see Travel being different.[/quote]

My kid was still invited to continue with a team even when I said he would have to miss practices because of another sport.

We declined because neither of us thought it would be fair to the other kids on the team.  I’d feel like an a-hole just having him show up for games.

It goes against everything I learned as a team player.  My kid agreed.[/quote]
