[quote=Anonymous]Personally I would see how the season starts. Use a stop watch to track the time so you actually know when the player comes on/off. If playing time continues to be marginal then after 2-3 games request a player meeting with the coach (with you present). Note that playing time has been limited and you would like the player to understand why and what they must do to earn more field time.

Sometimes coaches are dicks. And sometimes players don’t communicate things that the coach tells them on to the parents. While this is a player that should be old enough to handle the conversation with the coach - that is such an extremely low amount of time that there must be a bigger issue at hand that the coach should have communicated already. If a player is attending training, has a good attitude, and is giving good effort they should be playing - if their level is so far below the rest of team then the coach should not have selected them.

Don’t go into it like a fight - go in with genuine interest around what the coach sees and wants from the player and how those decisions are made. [/quote]
