[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The criticism is not so much of the players, as of the club that makes decisions like this. No parent gets mad when a weak player on the team gets her fair share of time. It's something to compliment about the DA and its 25% start rule.

The anger and resentment comes from a large roster for one, that inexplicably sits players. It also comes from play ups whose level of play doesn't justify their playing up (and maybe it is just their size, but if you are playing up, you should be held to the same standard as the rest of the team, not get bonus points because you are a play up, so you start in spite of a lack of performance).

And if for some random reason a team has a roster that is even 1 player short, it must be re-maxed out with players. It comes from taking out of town trips with intentionally bringing more than 18 girls. I'd rather my DD not go at all one trip and take her on another.

The showcases will be equally ridiculous. If a team doesn't have at least 20, players will be added to make sure the roster does and that girls fly somewhere to sit. [/quote]

This is coming from a parent of a starting player who gets lots of minutes. No, this is not about the roster size as the poster has admitted that their DD’s playing time is not affected. No, this is about nothing more than anger over results and scapegoating a 13 year old girl. The poster called her “the worst”. That is not commentary about the club, that is anger, frustration and blame pointed squarely at a 13 year old girl. [/quote]
