[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. This is OP. This is a travel team so we are very definitely paying and unfortunately I don't think its a situation where the coach is unaware.

I am hoping my son will talk to his coach this week at practice. If he doesn't or doesn't feel comfortable, I will talk with him either before this weekends game or cross my fingers that it will resolve itself...and then talk to him if it doesn't. [b]And yes, he is trying out for another team[/b] so that may be a solution too.[/quote]

Our coach gave my player the cold shoulder when they found out she was trying out for another team.  Lets hope your son's lack of playing time is not due to a jealous coach, who is giving your child less minutes because they are looking at other teams. -Coaches need to cut that crap out.  [/quote]

Our DD is the best player on her current team.  She wanted to move up next fall to the stronger team but due to politics they kept her on the same team even though she's far better than everyone else.  So, we decided to try out for other clubs and she received offers from all the clubs for the stronger tier teams the day after the first tryout.  We decided to move clubs and since then the coach has been playing my kid at the same position and giving her the cold shoulder.  At first DD was sad and confused because before that she was the coach's favorite player (asking DD to show different drills, lead practice, etc) but now he acts annoyed.  We told her the reality of life and now she knows to keep her head low and just practice/play until the season is over.  It is what it is.[/quote]
