No he won't!! You hate my kid! or You don't recognize talent when you see it!!
When will parents realize that coaches want to win, and will do what is best for the team? (Well, except for Callahan, maybe . . . )
There is more head trauma from soccer than from any other sport - yet mama will push soccer over football because its "less dangerous".
Ha! I love when I get emails from parents after the first day of practice...letting me know where they think their son should be playing! ha
I think you have to put the age of the child in perspective when you reach out to a coach about your child. I had a talk with son's coach last year for flag football. It is a learning league and he was playing favorites to the point that some parents were basically paying to watch their kids sit on the sideline and do nothing. I aired it out with him and told him that if this was the type of team he was going to run, then let the parents know this first so they can explain to their kids how it will work.
I have no illusions about my son's ability but he isn't a slouch on the field either. But when I pay $75 to put him in a learn first league, I expect him to get time at all football positions and time on the field to learn.
Most youth leagues have rules about this....Players have to play a specific amount of plays or quarters
