[quote=Anonymous][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.

He’s not sitting out the whole time, and he would not be playing the whole time. So it is not losing 10 percent of practice time. Nonsense.

I'm guessing he will comment directly - but when he said he's missing a third of one practice - I'm interpreting that as missing half an hour total per week.[/quote]

He's not playing in the scrimmage for that practice at all many times, so yes.  I am paying for the practice, and he is not participating meaningfully. The girls are definitely very strong players, and that is great, but they have their own practice with their own team, and clearly there are not enough spots for all players if he and one or two other boys are sitting out.

But, actually, I don't know why I am arguing the rights and wrongs of this.  It isn't working for me or my son, and I'm not going to continue to pay for it after this year.  If someone else would be happy with it, great, come try out and take a spot.[/quote]
