[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a part of a club that seems to "value" loyalty and friendship with the right people.  The result is we have about 5 kids that don't belong on the top team at all.  It's really sad to see better players on the second team that really should be on first team.

And the greatest example of this:  the coach's kid.  We were burdened with a coach's kid this past season and he started every match.  He was terrible.  Its genuinely immoral.  [/quote]

We've experienced this too. Not just the situation where the coach’s kid is roughly equal in ability—where you think, “Okay, sure, I get it.” I’m talking about when the coach’s kid is clearly not interested, lacks skill, and would rather be doing something else. It's the elephant in the room. The parents avoid the topic, the coach seems oblivious (maybe that’s for the best), and everyone just silently accepts it for an entire season. It’s such a strange dynamic.[/quote]

Imagine how frustrating it is when it's not even the coach's kid but with a player that acts the same way who's parents are throwing money at the coach to keep the kid on the field the whole game. Does wonders for team moral and definitely doesn't hinder everyone else who's playing well and like they want to be there. Kid didn't even really care to play but never comes out and contributes nothing to the team all because their parents are loaded and willing to pay.[/quote]

How does the team learn that someone is throwing money at the coach?[/quote]
