[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And don't feel like you have to talk to the coach.  If the fall and spring come and go, and this all stays the same, you pretty much have your answer.  Just find somewhere else for him to play.  If it's 50% now, it will likely go down as the years roll by.  No big deal.  Plenty of clubs to choose from. [/quote]

They don’t know why their kid isn’t playing if they don’t talk to the coach and those unfixed issues will likely follow the kid to the next club. [/quote]

After a year at the club, you always know.  Even the OP already has his suspicions.  Parents may not always like the reasons and the reasons may not be fair, but it's not a surprise.  And the kid should also be capable of asking.  It's often better if it comes from a player, not a coach. [/quote]

A 9 year old is not going to ask.

All the OP stated is that their kid is the bottom of the roster but never said what the gap is or the deficiencies are. Is it first touch, off the ball movement, lack of aggressiveness? What? And nobody here has articulated what the shortcomings are either. And communication is a two way street.

And there was a long post citing multiple club playing time expectations and when a actual amount was listed it was 50%. The kid is not being abused playing time wise for travel. While the playing time is not ideal and that is why the parents should talk to the coach and then consider finding a better fit but they are not owed a refund. [/quote]
