[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the OP, but a followup question.  [b]Does this kind of favoritism/politicking extend to high school sports?[/b] Do the high school coaches actually pick and play the best players? Do we just need to stick out the nonsense in Little League to get to a system that is more equitable?[/quote]

Yes, and beyond, even if your kid is the top player on the team. BTDT.[/quote]

I would guess that if it is extending into high school and beyond (college? Minor leagues?) your kid is likely NOT the top player on the team.[/quote]

BS.

HS is known for some of the biggest BS around. They also take the politiciked crew off the travel teams.

I know many kids that don't play HS soccer for this reason and are on some of the top teams in this country.

Politics comes into team sport selection at every level.  You should see it at the National team level.  It will blow your mind.[/quote]

No. At that age and level they want to win. You son is likely not as much of the top as you think he is.

If he was the top you wouldn't be complaining about no playing time.  Unless he is kot playing as much because he has a bad attitude. I could see that happen.[/quote]

They are losing every game--so apparently they don't care about winning. :roll:   They stop taking the kids with Dad's head up their ass---they might have been able to win some.[/quote]
