yes...it's pathetic how some of these guys coach,,,i'm running into the same problem with my sons team....play 1 kid the whole game ( their kid ) he scores a pile of goals...but it's not rep and they don't even keep score.
- Garnie

That's bs. If its a fun league....play all the kids unless they arent paying attention.
My 7 year old plays in a "fun" league and has scored goals, but last game he was goofing around on the field and not really paying attention. Coach pulled him and sat him.
Glad he did.

Advise the coach that certain friends of your family would be very disappointed to see little Jimmy continue to have reduced minutes. Let him know that those same friends really like the coach's mother and feel it would be a shame if something were to happen to her.

Agreed.

Hell for 7 year olds, every league should be a "fun" league.

In that case hand him HOHO's hat and tell him what he can do with it.

I don't like soccer, but we have 4 teams U10 - I crutched out to watch ( broken foot ) 1st team I notice has a pile of the rep hockey players some AAA. Then I find out they are winning every game by 10 goals....we play 1 team and beat them 10-0 then we play this team and lose 7-0..I sent an email to the convenor advising they should probably take some from the top team and give it to the team that can't even get a shot on net....I get this email back:

Assessments were done for for U10 & U12 by experienced coaches, teams set up based on rating of 1-3



I could tell who had the best team within 5 mins of being at the fields without seeing them play yet.

Plus they made a rep team with no tryouts.

How many other kids are sitting? Its rep soccer so i assume its no longer about equal playing time for all and for fun. Its about winning. Maybe the coach feels he has better players?
Dont approach the coach with why isnt my kid playing more, approach it as what can my son do to improve to get more playing time.

- Fakepartofme


There's an extra goalie and three kids including my son.

I am soooooo over Spatso.

I have a new favourite Senators fan.

Maverick1818 seems to think that if Hoffman would only ditch his fiancee, this whole thing could actually bring Hoffman and Karlsson closer together.

I think good old blue has the best answer for ya.

But in the end, and that's just my opinion, it's all about your kid having fun.

If he's to stay on the bench and not play... might as well go back to the fun league where he'll have a blast.

They do it in school gym, I guess I should get involved since I spend my whole winter watching 1/2 these kids play hockey....I just don't like soccer enough I guess.

Back when I was a kid, the teams would be pretty much random except if you askef specifically to play for "that coach".

For a few years, me and all my friends would ask to play for the same coach, we'd have a pretty stacked team and would completely crush the competition.

As a kid, it was great. Looking back, the system is broken!

I coached my daughter's houseleague Atom team in hockey last year.

They gave me 5 kids who had never played before. I don't think any other team had more than 2 beginners.

It wasnt done maliciously.
My son was asked to pay to attention, he didn't.

hey guys, a little detour from the EK story.

My son has been playing rep soccer now for 4yrs. This year I see him on the bench
a lot. I was getting upset that he wasn't playing at least half the game not just 15 minutes out of the whole 90 minutes. I've been thinking to talk to the coach about it. I don't want to be that parent but I feel he's not using his bench properly and rotating who starts. To me this would give the kids a chance to play. Last night my son was upset about his playing time.
He plays as a defender and from what I've seen he's good at it. Should I approach the coach and asking why he's not rotating his starting line up or should be silent.

- Atomic Wedgie


I hear ya....we had that my youngest 2nd year novice....9 players that never played before. My kid scored 50+ goals and they won the championship

He'd get the puck and 2 or 3 strides and he'd have no one to pass it to as most of them were ankle busting it up the ice.

It's hard watching houseleague....hell, it's hard watching rep in my area....teams are forced to take a certain # of players...doesn't matter that they play D and can't skate backwards.
