[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one third of one practice per week[/quote]

When you say "scrimmages," are you talking about the short scrimmages that take place at the end of an ENTIRE practice?  So you're focusing on a short end-of-practice scrimmage at ONE of the weekly practices?  WTF?

So strange to focus on that to the exclusion of the entire practice (and just ONE practice per week you said).  I'm pretty sure these girls must be more than holding their own this practice for it to continue.  Do you they create a higher competitive level during the entire practice?  If so, that is good for all the players.

Like I said, the girls must be very good.  Do you really think they would be getting the same development opportunity at the same age group for girls?  Doubt it.

Guests get invited all the time to practices and games.  I don't see any problem with that (or scholarships for that matter).  It seems your beef is that you want to equate a player's end-of-practice "scrimmage" playing time to the amount you paid.  Good luck with that!  Not sure how your mention of "girls" is even relevant?    [/quote]

I'm not the poster whose kid is sitting out - but it seemed to me he was saying that his kid is missing half an hour a week of practice.  If that is truly the case that is over 10% of his weekly practice time - and it is not right that he is loisng that time which has been paid for in order to benefit kids from a different team.  I have no problem with some girls practising with the boys - but they really shouldn't be adding so many other kids (irrespective of whether they are girls or boys, or come from inside or outside the club) that they are having to sit existing team members on the sidelines for significant amounts of time each week.[/quote]
