I think every parent that has talented kids playing gets frustrated at one time or another due to the other less talented players. The less talented girls might even be older in age (Jan/Feb birthdays).

Watch a game, you’ll feel bad for the 05 teammates that are trying to showcase and mad at the HC and mom for making this a situation.
I’m sure the 05 parents have their opinions and that’s fine. I’m the no dog in this fight poster but I’m sensitive to this because I actually came upon these threads once and my kid’s situation was being discussed. My heart just fell to the floor. All these people you think are your friends week in and week out, and then they spout off anonymously on some message board saying terrible things about the kids. Its too pointed, people should speak in general terms.
When you create an obvious situation that doesn't really work around you and your kid, expect an experience. Glad coaches used common sense. We get to sit back an watch the show.
the jealous parents need to press on and stop bitchin about play ups, most parents have no issue if the kid is good enough and adds strength to a team
Don’t come whining on an anony forum- instead have a conversation with the director or leave the club! Plain and simple
You have to understand their frustration and jealousy. When a player is 2 years younger and is more technically sound and talented than their DD which leads to her getting more playing time, the only left for them to do is getting on a anonymous forum to whine, complain, bash the club, etc.
Did you just post two comments as if you’re two different people?
If you want the kid to play at age the solution is to bring in players who are better. Airing out dirty laundry online is a poor way of marketing the one current Metro team with promise.
There are certainly parents who will want to leave, and that is fine but do it quietly. And I say that to anyone regarding their club. Not every club is a fit for every player. Not every situation is ideal.
If you or other parents stay then just accept it for what it is. If your kid isn't getting playing time then find a team where your kid will play. There are always 7 kids who don't start the reason doesn't really matter. If you're DD is not starting over a 3 year play-up then there are likely other issues beyond "politics". That doesn't mean politics do not play a role but the kid is only taking one of 11 possible positions on the field.
If you are a starter, suck it up. If you are a bench player, well bench players should always be looking to both improve and improve their situation regardless of club or team.
If parents would quit overselling that everyone loves it and it's all epic, then it wouldn't result in others having to be more honest. I don't want people to feel tricked. It's a terrible feeling.
I don't think it is possible to oversell a .500 record.

Somehow this completely overmatched player has the 2nd most goals on the team. That's where you lost me. How did that happen? Pure luck?
Kind of. It wasn't like she took on 3 or 4 players and then took some driven shot. Last year, on the 04 team, the most goals were by one of the least skilled players on the team. She had speed, passion, and all, but she was by no means the technical guru.
So your at age DD is not starting over a non-skilled 2 year play up who starts every game and has the 2nd most goals on the team due to pure luck? Is that the gist of it? Ok - I get your frustration.

Im the 10:03am poster and not the PP. Did you disagree with my comments? I’m just wondering why people love coming on this forum to bash their own club or another club rather than just talk to the coach, TD, team manager, etc. This leads to conclude it’s definitely some form of ugly jealousy.
Or extreme frustration because we were told it wouldn't happen and then it did.
Does your team coach divide playing time equally among the players and did this play-up player got equal or more playing time compared to her other teammates? Or did the coach played the best available players to win?
He did neither, which is reflected in the losses we had that should have been wins.
I don’t understand what you said. The coach didn’t play his players equality and didn’t play his best players. Hence, what you’re saying is that he played his worse players more and let the better players sit on the bench. It’s either that the coach doesn’t recognize talent or the parents don’t understand the game and doesn’t recognize talent. Not trying to be a jerk, but wouldn’t you think a coach knows/understands the game and recognize talent much more than the parents do?[/quproven

No. I am the +1 poster. But I agree. Take it up with the TD. Coaches obviously like the play up. She started every game, scored points. That should tell you that at least some others beside the parents support where she is playing.
Just tells me a club was desperate enough to take that on.
Go talk to the clubs that signed the young Messi or more recently the NWSL team that signed Olivia Moultrie. LOL

I fixed it for you.
You have to understand their frustration. When a player is 2 years younger and is more slow and small than their DD and not held to the same standard as her teammates because she gets extra credit for being so young which leads to her getting more playing time even when she causes a lot of turnovers and they cannot say anything because of the pressure to put up with it, then the only thing to do is warn on an anonymous forum of the potential repercussions if a lot of top players leave out of equal frustration since that is the only avenue available. Most parents have no issue if the kid is good enough.
