There is a reason why good clubs will not allow paid staff coaches to coach their own children. I remember the drama when Lily and Cindy had to separate to go to McLean and how it worked out better for them both that the club didn't make the exception.

If your son is on this team with friends and wants to stay you really have no choice but option C, STFU and deal with it for now. Perhaps if the topic comes up and the moment is right you can lightly suggest that playing the weaker players more may help them catch up but don't expect them to hear you if they don't already know that. If later on your son gets serious enough about soccer that he wants the best environment for his growth even if it means separating from his friends then you will need to find him a club that also takes soccer more seriously and would not allow this scenario to happen.

If you want to help those players on the squad who are getting the short end of the stick, find a good trainer and set up a weekly small group (4 players) training session and invite them to join your son in the small group. If your son really is one of the better players and they really do love soccer they will probably jump at the chance and all of them will be much better off for it whether with this team or another.[/quote]

Don't you dare suggest on this forum that kids who don't get the same amount of playing time that they train more away from practice. [/quote]
