[quote=Anonymous]Your kid is going to experience good and bad coaches. If your kid doesn't love soccer enough to be practicing drills at home (which you can actually help them with), there is no point to travel soccer.

How would you hold kids accountable for not being at practice or at games? This is extremely difficult to do in a pay-to-play environment. My kid loved it when they only had 1 or 2 subs. More playing time. If your kid can't play most of the game on a small field for U10, the athleticism may not be there as they get older. The coach has little control over parents. Do not complain about this. Nothing is going to happen.

My kids also dealt with other kids who were poor sports. In a competitive environment this is absolutely inevitable. You have to tell your kid to ignore this other kid, or, to speak up, and tell him to keep his trap shut. The coach knows about this. They have possibly said something to the parent. Parents say we are working on it. Johnny has ADHD and poor impulse control. Nothing will happen. Better to teach your kid strategies for dealing with the team a**holes.[/quote]
