Not all POC are treated the same especially on the Girls side. Asian girls are typically not expected to perform and/or have the same level of athleticism/talent compare to Hispanic and African American girls. I am Asian and I see this not just from coaches but from parents too.

Huh? I am a rich white person and would love my son’s club to develop and not replace. I would be happy if his coach was tough on them and actually coached instead of told them regularly that they are going to be replaced. I have seen this over multiple clubs - they want to win at any cost. We have kids who could be amazing if they believed in themself and the coach took the time to focus a bit of time on them. Instead, they are bullied at games by the coach and parents (black and white!).
Additionally, if I am paying several thousand dollars a season, the kids should be developed. If yours aren’t, you are wasting your money. Your kid is not in the club to win a random coach a trophy.
So, it has nothing to do with race.

So what? You're being just as divisive as the other guy. Maybe you're the same guy trolling hard.

Definitely not same poster. Not being divisive. I’ve seen awesome players regardless of color. Seen some awful players regardless of color. Just noted who i saw got the nod for another look and it was usually when a coach thought the player could develop with better technical skills. Often didnt happen. The ratio was definitely there. What was acceptable at a younger age for one was different for another at much older ages. I am unconcerned as long as i see opportunity and development.

Not being divisive, just relaying what i saw on rosters.
