Coach loses his job if he doesn't win. As long as you are upfront and straight forward with parents/kids then I think its fine.
Up to the parent to decide if its for them or their kid.
coaching 7 year olds is a "job"?? man you guys are totally whacko
So which one is it?
Do you want your coach to care and work hard to develop your kid? Or do you want them to not give a shit and half ass it?
Rolling the lines is the only way to go under u12. If you want to develop the age group and have a strong base for years to come, roll the lines. If you can’t develop ALL the kids YOU chose for the team, you’re in the wrong “business” and deserve to get canned.
I 100% agree with this comment. Develop all the kids. If you can’t then that’s on you. You either picked the wrong kids, or don’t know how to coach.
Maybe you should coach then? Everyone thinks they can coach. Go ahead. do it.
I think everyone can agree that all the players taken on a team should receive development. However, that doesn't inherently mean equal playing time.
Thats where things differ, if you are a rep program, and you were open and honest with the kids and parents that you are intending to try to win games, then I think you are fine if some kids get less minutes than others.
The problem is, its not black and white.
Why is the kid not getting minutes? Did he repeatedly do the thing you told them not to do? Did they give attitude? Are they not giving effort?
Are they missing a shift? A period? a game?
Is everyone getting the same level of scrutiny?
Are they just not as good as a kid who is on?
Is it within a goal? is it a blow out? is it an exhibition game or championship game?
A lot of the answers to these question are subjective and its not easy to prove or support your opinion on either side.
