[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP, and wanted to add that I don't necessarily agree with the idea that bench kids are holding the top players back. With the right coach, and where expectations are laid out, it can work. Maybe you tweak playing time for tournaments, but everyone should get a chance to play.

When my daughter was first starting out, she was on a team where she was one of the best players. There was a huge gap between the top of the roster and the bottom, and yes, I'll admit that in my mind, I dreaded when those bottom girls came into the game. I'm pretty sure that the team lost almost every game that season, but all but one girl came back the next season. The girls are all in high school now and all of them still play soccer, at various levels. Some are on highly competitive teams and others have moved down, but they are all still playing. You absolutely can develop kids the kids in front of you with the right coaching and right attitude. My daughter was lucky to have a coach who did everything right. [/quote]
