[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter plays for a U12 team and she would play the entire game most of the time, but for the past couple games she has been playing less than everyone else in the team (she is in travel).And let me make it clear she isn’t the best player on the team but she is pretty close. The person he replaced her with (she was already on the team) is definitely not better than her. She is one of the fastest players on the team and that person he replaced her with is one of the slowest.Soccer is meant to be fun and I don’t enjoy the fact that my daughter cry’s on the car rides home. My daughter’s team has pretty high costs too, around 3k and it is her first time in travel. She wanted to do it for another season because her friend is going to try out but today when she was crying in the car she finalized her decision and isn’t going to be playing in that team anymore. My daughter has severe anxiety and if this is making it worse to the point that she cries herself to sleep I don’t want to do it.[/quote]

I suggest that you calmly ask the coach what was behind his decision. Your DD might be the fastest, but is she out of position most of the time, or other reasons???  It could be that the coach wanted to equalize some playing time too. It is always good to know the reason so your DD can further improve.

Also, use this opportunity for motivation for your DD to be an even much better player. [/quote]
