[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was a bench player on first team. He barely got playing time. I requested he be moved to second team but coach refused.you know how much it sucks to travel to a tournament and your kids only plays 5 min.  Had to move to another club where my son happily starts and plays  the full time for second team. Be careful what you wish for. [/quote]

I should add my son was a carefree player until he became a benchplayer for A team. He started playing “scared”. He became afraid that if he made a mistake he would get pulled out. He would look at the coach to see his reaction instead of having his head in the game and making moves. Once on a B team it gradually came back. He went back to looking confident and playing well. Before Covid he was asked to guest play on new clubs A team but he didn’t want to.  [/quote]

+1  This happened to my kid as well. Playing scared is not good for any kid.  People who say that the benchwarmers on Team A need to play their way up are ill-informed or at least not realistic. The reality at most clubs is that those players will get little playing time and will get yanked the minute they make a mistake which will actually hinder their development. Trust me.[/quote]
