[quote=Anonymous]By the time kids are 11, assuming there are no rules regarding playing time, I think the goal is for players to receive relatively even playing time, but the best players would play a little more. So maybe the weakest players would play 2 quarters while the strongest would play 3. I think this is fair for a rec league. It sounds like you’ve already decided that even playing time regardless of skill level is the only fair way in your mind, however. And that’s fine, but I don’t think most coaches would approach it that way. I think most would say everyone should get meaningful playing time, but the best players would play a little more. I do think coaches’ kids often get more playing time, but I’ve also found that parents of kids who are good tend to coach more. So that makes sense in that regard. In your situation, the coach’s kid shouldn’t play more if they’re really as bad as you say. [/quote]
