[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you elaborate PP? This is OP. What is so out of the norm? I have only one child and child has only played for two years so I don't know what seems off and what is normal.[/quote]

1. clubs usually try for consistency vis a vis playing time- either their top teams are earn your spot or they are everyone plays (this is easier said than done)

2. a coach not stepping in when kids are fighting or favoring kids who belittle teammates is way past anything I've seen

3. pass the to the Italians is a joke, I've never actually seen a team do it [/quote]

Thank you.

1 What do you mean by earn your spot? Isn't that the same thing? That some kids don't get to play?
2 I don't think the coach favors kids who belittle other kids because they belittle other kids but the coach favors those kids in general so the coach doesn't seem to care. One kid hurls insults like crazy at other players yet the next game he played the entire time. Did not have to apologize, did not have to sit out of practice. No consequences. Sends a message to the team that the coach endorses the behavior.

My kid is on a u15 team.  He definitely has to earn his spot to play in the games. [b] He has sat out most of the games this season. [/b] It sucks but he has to work hard if he’s going to play.  This is a high level team FYI.[/quote]

are you going to be similarly happy when he decides to drop the sport because driving an hour and a half each way to not play gets both boring and demoralizing fast? [/quote]

That is the way life is. You have to work hard to get things. It is a great lesson in working hard to achieve something. Want guaranteed play? Go play rec.[/quote]

unless your kid just isn't as good as their teammates. Then your teaching him that his weekends are best spent watching others succeed because dad is too embarrassed to have him play for a team that actually matches his skill set - much better to be able to brag about the great team he 'plays' for [/quote]

Still missing the hard work part? He/she made the "elite" team so they probably have the talent...probably just needs to put in more work and more confidence from dad.
But if you want to strive for mediocrity…go for it. Why work backwards?
