[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard to tell what is going on from OP's scenario. Did your kid get to play at all or were they benched the whole time? What 15 minutes are your referring to?

Not all rec leagues have "equal" playing time rules. Most have minimum playing time rules. Before I talked to the coach, I'd read up on this. Different coaches and different leagues have different approaches to setting this up. Just because your kid didn't play in the first 15 minutes doesn't mean they didn't get minimum or equal playing time.[/quote]

Pretty standard to have equal playing time at that age. The coach getting upset tells you all you need to know. [/quote]

Not necessarily - the type of parent who complains about playing time 15 minutes into a game is definitely the same type of parent who doesn’t have a problem interrupting the coach while he’s trying to talk to a player or make a substitution and immediately be accusatory “ hey Larlo has already played 12 minutes and Larlo 2 hasn’t played at all, what’s wrong with you? Larlo 2 is the best player on the team!!!” Meanwhile for all OP knows Larlo 2 refused to go in because he didn’t want to play defense or hurt his ankle.
