[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To change the topic some...

what's with shitty behavior being rewarded?  Why do some of the players with the absolute shittiest attitudes, that continually disrupt practices and cause all kinds of problems on a routine basis get promoted?

In my day, coaches had balls and character and if a kid were a complete asshole 99% of the time--they were first on the bench---and if it still didn't stop it--they were off the team.

My kids team is pretty upset tonight that a kid that is always in trouble is getting honored with moving all the way to the top.

Is that what we do in 2017?  I can tell you that doesn't even fly Internationally.  If a player is a disruption--he's gone.[/quote]

There was a medoicre player in my DS's age group who was a problem for the coaches this past year, getting other kids in trouble, etc.  Not sure why he was even there to begin with, but rumor has it is moving up next year.  At least he will be out of our mix.  The only reason we can think of for all this is his father is a higher-up volunteer at the club.

I am sure this happens at other clubs too.  Coaches and directors don't want the hassle of dealing with the problem directly.[/quote]

We had a player move up onto one of my kid's team that has behavior issues and not one of even the top 5 on current team---to facilitate another kid's carpool.

They do these things without thinking how it effects every other player in the age group.  The kids that are showing results and working hard get crushed when this type of thing happens.  The kids are the first to tell you who should be advancing--and it's not even them nominating themselves.  They know who is talented and contributing the most.  This is why so many players are not returning next year.[/quote]
