My kid is 9 and on a team with a bunch of younger girls.  One tiny girl is very enthusiastic and keeps kicking the ball away from my daughter even though they’re on the same team.  This girl tries to runndown the field and often ends up kicking it out of bounds.  Sometimes she goes in the wrong direction.  My kid is stronger and can give it a good strong kick that goes a quarter of the way down the field If no one is in the way.

The coach never yells at the little girl who kicks it away from my DD.  I yell, “same team!” and “wrong way!”  But her mom kept giving me a look last game.

Wondering if I should speak to the coach about the little girl’s stealing from my DD and her mom’s annoyed glances when I yell at her.  Of is this how it is when you are 9 in a team of 7 year olds.

Don't ever yell at the kid from the sidelines again.

This is an issue for the coach to deal with.

Your DD is aware of the little girl's behavior so she needs to be more aggressive about keeping the other girl away, as soon as she gets the ball she should run down the field too.  A good strong kick is too easy for the other team to intercept especially at that age. [/quote]
