Don't they play TWO games a day in the timespan of an hour or 90 minutes? And there can be 7-8 players - 3 players and 4-5 subs. You got lucky that only 5 girls showed up so you assume your daughter should get 3/5 or 60% playing time out of around 24 minutes. Just imagine that 7 or even 8 players showed up. She would have gotten 3/8 playing time. That is only 37% playing time. So that is only 9 minutes out of 24.

You need to chill out and accept life isn't fair. Some weeks everyone shows up and you get less playing times, sometimes only 4 kids show up and you play a lot. You don't know the coach or the kid. For all you know the players who are playing more besides the coach's daughter are her best friends and/or cousins. Not that it makes it right but that's just how it ends up working out. Maybe the grandparents were in town so the coach played his daughter more.

Maybe the coach thinks it is rec and your daughter doesn't need as much time to improve so he would rather put in weaker players. Or maybe your daughters a ball hog and the coach is mad she doesn't pass and just shoots. Was it evenly matched or your team was up? Maybe the coach didn't want to run up the score and your kid scored too much. And maybe the coach just wants to play his daughter more bc he can. There are so many variables that you need to get over it. Stop timing to see how much playing time, it is only going to drive you crazy. Really the only thing you need to say about the game to your daughter is - hope you had fun, I love to watch you play. [/quote]
