[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you talked to the coach?

I would talk to the coach before you think about trying out for other teams.  If the coach is not responsive, then perhaps.

Personally, it will likely not work in your favor to tryout for another team with the specifics of a position.  If your player is playing at a certain position, at age 12, s/he probably picked up some of the nuances that help stick out in a tryout.  Trying out for a position they don't usually play, might be a risk.

Assuming this is a travel sport , bc tryouts.[/quote]
I am the PP.  I have reviewed calls from 6 new teams within the last two weeks about my kid playing with other teams.  He has played with 3 teams in the spring and the only one he isn’t playing the position he wants is the team he is committed to and that he is not playing his desired position.  A good coach knows if a player is developing.  If he can’t see that my son isn’t, it’s not the right situation.[/quote]

How does one manage three teams?  [b]Our AAU team has clear positions[/b] and our coach would not appreciate being told a player wants to play a different position.  Don't they all want to be PG or SG?[/quote]

This is bad coaching.[/quote].

How does one switch away from this? [/quote]

Talk to coaches about philosophy and look for coaches who talk about positionless, avoid clubs that let parents coach their own kids, try to get your kid on a team where everyone is near the same level [/quote]
