[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I ask what team this is? We just accepted a spot and there were rumors the roster was going to increase. My son got multiple offers and we will just move him to another team if some kids aren't going to play and there is that much competition. Playing only part of the game is different than only some kids dressing for it.[/quote]
Hahaha such BS.

Your ego won't let him play on any other team than the one that wins. If this wasn't true you'd just have him play on the B team.[/quote]

I don't know what you mean. It's the same club and team from last year. The roster size was good last year, so I really don't want him on a team where this year kids are fighting for spots. There are another five clubs with similar level kids within 10 miles of our house.[/quote]Yeah, avoid over rostered clubs. Happened to my kid last year, it's a caste system of garbage and you are relying of having a fair coach. Consider it the last year of club soccer for a few players. Saw it happen already.[/quote]

What is a "fair coach"?  One who gives equal playing time to all players regardless of skill (or even perceived skill)?[/quote]One who doesn't constantly play favorites and actually changes the lineup around when some kids have bad games. One who gets the back part of the roster a lot of playing time in those games that are blowouts. One who is smart enough to adjust the lineup to the opponents strengths of speed or size and doesn't just blindly double down on their first impressions of players in Sept. And most importantly, one who doesn't sideline the same 2-3 players, basically cutting them from the team, because as a coach they can't handle a large roster properly. Essentially, a crap coach uses demotivation more than motivation as a tool. This is why getting a good coach is everything.[/quote]
