[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people don't understand what time wasted is. If your daughter is on a team and doesn't play at 13 years old or 12 or whatever because shes not good enough fine! Thats not a life lesson, we're old enough to know about life lessons. If a club traps you to join a elite club then guess what? You actually think you're DD is elite level. You drive for hours for a year to not watch her play thats a life lesson? Its sad to the people that understand thats 1 year wasted that you will never get back because a club LIED. Clubs should be honest and say your D isn't good enough if you want to waste your money fine but she WILL be on the bench all year. You're saying just try it out and oh well its just a year to live and learn? And we're wrong if we pull mid season? Ok right [/quote]

If your DD plays DA/ECNL in this area, the coach believed in her ability enough to have her on the team, thinking she could contribute and play.  To me, that is a coach showing confidence in a player.  No sane coach takes a player intending she never plays.  If her play doesn't develop over the course of the year relative to all other kids on the team, and she doesn't EARN time, that has nothing to do with a coach lying, it has to do with DD's play.  Over the years, I've seen far too many parents with no objectivity over-value DD's playing ability, even when they're told the exact things that need improvement.  They move DD to a different club and experience the same thing - and end up either getting cut, missing friends, moving yet again, or still earning limited playing time.  At some point the parent has to realize it isn't about coaches lying as it is DD's play itself.[/quote]

Thanks for the insight, Coach![/quote]
