[quote=Anonymous]First thing I would say is the probably many of us have been there in a u12 situation and thought it was the biggest deal in the world to have your son taken off in a tournament where the team didn't have any subs.

That's also the advantage of hindsight having gone through most of the age groups and realizing this is not a life-or-death situation for your child's soccer career. The bigger concern is his health. I would have taken him off in this situation given the obvious signs of injury even if he said he was OK. The fact that he wasn't playing normally afterward should have been a sign.

That said, no reason to kill the parent here. It was a learning situation and something hopefully all of us can appreciate and get perspective on.

The club and manager/coach also were not helpful in providing that layer of care that would have avoiding putting this parent in the situation of pulling a child off the field. But again, this is u12. Got Soccer points come and go. Brain injuries can linger and also make the next one more likely.[/quote]
