[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really trying to understand the mindset of someone who wants to coach 11 year olds, but then decides that some of them get to have a miserable experience. Did you just have a miserable childhood that you want to take out on kids?

At U15 or 16, some kids won't play on travel teams. Even U13, kids know it and most find teams with roles that they accept. Doing to to U10s just makes you a dick [/quote]

A parent contract with “playing time during games and tournaments is NOT guaranteed” started at 13U for us. No one has ever had a problem with that. The kids will be in high school soon. Parents get it.  If a kid or parent is not happy with their role, some choose to move on to a different team gracefully after the season.

But at 10-11 that is 100% crazy- and poor coaching. All the kids played- some more than others at that age- but they definitely all played at minimum 50% of the time. Why even take a kid on the team who isn’t going to play much, at that age? Unethical IMHO. [/quote]
