[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeeze people, let the guy ask his questions, and take his information at face value.

"Starting" is often a measure of a player's worth/value by a coach, so it's not surprising that the OP and his daughter are concerned that the coach isn't starting her. There are two possibilities:

1) The coach doesn't think she's as good as the OP/daughter does
2) The coach doesn't "start" players based on skill. (He may base it on seniority, tactics, the alphabet - who knows.)

OP - Your daughter needs to find out if #2 is right, and then, from there, find out if #1 is correct. But the key here is that it needs to COME FROM HER. She needs to communicate with him and figure out what's going on. If she's nervous about speaking to him 1v1 about this, she should practice with you, OP. [/quote]

I agree with this assessment and I'm here to commiserate, OP.  DC is in the same situation, plus DC is also not getting enough playing time.  DC has scored more goals than anyone on the team based on the amount of time in the game and is the second-top scorer overall. DC very clearly told us not to interfere.  DC wants to let it play out this year and then tryout elsewhere next year, which is unfortunate because the practices are really good with this club. [/quote]
