[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP said the son comes out "rarely" and for "short periods" I don't understand the beef, but if you can do a better job why don't you coach.[/quote]

Sorry, not helpful.  I am trying to find a good solution; my son is not leaving the team, these are his friends, and it's good training.  He, the Coach, and Coach's son are friends (think bday parties and sleep-overs);

So my two options as I see it are to ask one of the less vocal parent to talk to Coach; I talk to Coach, or I STFU.

I'm leaning towards S'ingTFU - this will play itself out; Coach will be exposed or he will adjust.  My son gets playing time and is one of the better players - I'm actually less worried about him.  When I notice what I perceive to be an injustice it raises my hackles.  The fact that I notice a play time injustice on a soccerteam with 10yos makes my blood boil; A better coach will coach a team to play together, not rely on his son and other role players.

Thanks for your input Soccer DCUM.[/quote]. This scenario drives me crazy as well!  Not fair at all but unfortunately it’s the way it is.  I agree it’s a cycle.  The good players get time and chances to develop and improve while the others sit and hope to play .  Ugh.  Maybe instead of talking to the coach you could talk to a technical director about this? I wouldn’t talk to the coach myself. But I would consider talking to somebody higher up[/quote]

True that the TD should be the one to solve this but if the TD is putting paid staff coaches in charge of their own kids it is more likely that in this case the TD is the problem at that club not the solution.[/quote]
