[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question: who is the real bully? The parent who seeks inclusion for their kid who may not be ready/good enough for this group OR the club that wants to train/prepare a core group for success and the room to make such decisions?

One could see the different sides in this and depending how it's framed both sides could look good or bad. Maybe this is all about who's really in charge. Shouldn't it be the coaches vs. the overly involved parent?

That all said, there should be open communication and transparency about anything extra otherwise parents should be able to exert pressure by taking their money elsewhere.[/quote]

Absolutely right!!!!!

Reality check - [b]Some players can hang and others can't[/b]! Coaches have to adapt to the team they have so maybe there is a core of players who want more and it's not possible with everyone. It can go 1 of 2 ways, the "excluded" kids can work hard and get better to reach that level OR parents can complain loud enough where the club will need to make similar training sessions for lesser kids.

This sounds like a parent of a kid playing competitive youth soccer for the first year.  Just read some of the topics of this forum and you'll realize this kind of stuff is more normal than odd.  The "better players" have so many more opportunities to do extra trainings, games, etc.

No one likes to hear it but your kid might be the best to YOU but there are levels to it [/quote]

If a player "can't hang" vs. a player that "can hang" then separate them out into different teams. That is why travel sports has a 1st team, 2nd team, etc. However, once a kid is on a team assigned by the coach they have every right to get access to the same training. Any denial of such access can lead to great trouble for team, the coach and even the club.[/quote][/quote]
