[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wise soccer community...what would you think and do if your child’s B team had a semifinal match and none of the coaches showed up because they were coaching other games (it’s academy style club so any one of them coaches any given match) AND the team was under-rostered because a few of the players had to leave for another match halfway through (different age group playing up)?  My own son is crushed. Thoughts?[/quote]

There are some real pros in the soccer world in the DMV, and there are a lot of coaches who are inattentive to detail and spread too thin.  This is likely not a case of intentional neglect, but a very disorganized coach or two, or three.  I'd listen to the explanation and then, make a judgment.  My daughter's team at U9 was coached by a guy who had so many teams he literally would come running onto the sideline while the girls were set up for the kickoff (manager put them out on the field per coach's instruction while he was driving to the field).  Then, at the final whistle, you could see him running for the parking lot and burning rubber on his way out to the next match.  He was a really good teacher in training, and did a nice job on the sideline during the games, but he had a few teams too many and was trying to make $$.  Club replaced him the following year and I am sure he went off and tried his system again.[/quote]
