[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At every age.  At every level.   A kid should get at least half a game playing time.  The only exceptions would be:  (1) injury or health concern (kid is sick but at the game) (2) discipline issue (broke team rule or had a red card etc).  That’s it. No other exceptions.  Don’t want to play a kid at least a half?  Then don’t take their money.   I do know a couple of times where a DA team took a couple of extra subs who might not play much over a weekend but they went for free.  And the coaches got them in.

So - if money is being paid and no injury or discipline issues exist - then a coach must play every player, every time, at least half a game at every level.  If you have a coach who cant figure out how to do that he/she should not coach.

This how maybe it should be, but it isn't...so there is that.  AND I wouldn't even want my kid on a team where he ONLY gets 50% playing time.  That means that he's sitting half the game.  Find a team/coach that will value your kid.  You need to do some legwork though.  Attend practices. Talk to parents and coaches. Watch a game.[/quote]
