[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our coach said emailed out a depth chart so we learned our son is on the second string and isn’t a starter. They are in first grade. Is this normal? It’s 5v5 flag football and the kids will stick to one of 5 offensive positions and 3 defensive positions for the whole season. No changes on positions. Most are 6 and a few 7 year olds. This is my son’s second year in the program. He’s a center.[/quote]

While it may seem unreasonable.  It is kind of refreshing for the coach to be upfront about it.  It would suck to get a year into the team just to find out no matter how your kid trains he isn't ever going to get playing time.  This is more often the case in youth sports than not, where it's more about the coach's kid developing than anything.  Many parents are fine with dropping their kid off for "baby sitting", I don't understand it, but if you want actual coaching for your kid, you now have the option to go elsewhere, which is kind of nice when you think about it.[/quote]
