[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter's U13 team has a roster of 18 and one player gets probably less than 5 minutes on the field when its a tight game. This player was here last year as well.  I dont understand why the parents tolerate it or why the coaches keep her if they won't put her on the field.  Its a waste of time and money not to mention soul crushing to go through that.[/quote]

Not just directed at you, but everyone - I get that it may be frustrating to not get adequate playing time, but I agree with the view that most of the development comes from trainings, not the games.  So when balancing whether to leave for a team in which your kid will play more, also think about the level of competition they will face 3-5 hours per week at practice rather than the competition they face ~1 hour per week at a game.[/quote]

What exactly are they developing for if not to use their skills in a game?[/quote]

You think being on the field for 30 minutes and touching the ball 8 times for a total of 46 seconds during a game beats 6 hours of training and hundreds of touches?[/quote]
