[quote=Anonymous]This is the exact reason I do not let my kids participate in team sports.  Favoritism, nepotism, players that are sons or daughters of coaches, and the list goes on.  Your kids might be good but if it doesn't fit with the coach's philosophy or system, your kids likely will not see any actions.  It is also hard to evaluate talents when two kids are at similar or equal level, how do you determine who plays and who sits on the bench?  Your decision will get one set of parents upset.  It is a no-win situation.

My oldest plays tennis and in tennis, there are challenge matches between players on the same team and whoever came out on top gets to play, and the coach has no say in it whatsoever.  Parents of the losing kid can not challenge it because the score said it all.

My daughter is a swimmer and her ranking is based on her time, nobody on the team, even the coach, can not dispute that.

I encourage my kid to stay away from team sports because in team sports, you're not in control of your own destiny, and that someone else decide that for you, which is not a good thing.

YMMV.[/quote]
