[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may not be that the coach dislikes your child- but simply likes other players more. IME: the top 20% of players will get lots of attention and playing time wherever they go, the bottom 20% of players will struggle to get attention and playing time wherever they go. For that remaining middle group of kids- 60% or so- attention and role will vary widely depending on the coach. This is where things like general likability , “politics” or simply differing opinion of skills etc come into play. If your kid is in this middle group- you have to be much more mindful/careful about what team they are on and consider more factors. Often you may have to move around yearly to find the best fit.

In other words- probably time to look for a new team. [/quote]

In our case, it's been more like the top 10% and the bottom 10%  are locked in, and the middle 80% need to be careful and find a good fit.  The politics have been brutal for us in the sports with dad coaches (single mom) but it got better as we aged into independent coaches, and by high school much better, but we had to find off-season opportunities to make up for missed playing time along the way so DC could learn how to play on special teams, etc.   [/quote]
