[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I disagree.  If you are paying a club to develop your player, they should be getting playing time.  If my player was not getting at least 50% playing time, I would talk to the coach, then the age group director, then the technical director.[/quote]

The lack of playing time IS the developmental tool, as it should motivate the player to work harder to improve (both individually and in team training). Sometimes, though, a player doesn't fit a coach's preferred style of play or simply isn't good enough. If that's the case, then find a different team. [/quote]

Well at this age confidence comes from starting and playing games not sitting on the bench. If your kid is not starting move to a different club. Not starting at u14 means the club is done with your kid. At this age club/coach has their favorites and they are not going change unless someone from outside the club comes in. The bench kid can work their a$$ off but they will never move up the roster. Everything is baked in. This goes for ECNL/GA etc.

If your kid is not starting he/she is not really on the team.[/quote]
