[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are doing great! Thank you for volunteering and coaching. Being on a team that loses week after week sucks. Kids, even the weak ones, would get defeated and stop showing up to games.  It sounds like you are balancing everything nicely.[/quote]

I have coach a lot of rec teams. The one I remember was a girls 6th grade team where we lost every regular season game. I made sure all the girls got the same amount of playing time with a really big roster. This was the first time most of the girls had played the sport. There were strong and weak players.

Through practice and coaching they got better each week. They lost games but they started having more and more success individually. They won two playoff of games and the weakest girl actually become fair good. Everyone of those girl stayed with sport and played on their high school team.

You can lose games but still grow individually and gain confidence. This does not happen if you are not in the games. Players rec or travel who do not get playing time do not get better. [/quote]
