Have dealt with a few frustrating situations. I never approached a coach about an issue, but I did encourage my son to communicate with his coach. And when you have a coach that sucks, you just move on next season.

I honestly wouldn’t worry about it, but if it bugs your boy find him a different team. |

I've told my Son to be vocal when he is on the bench and wants to go in. Last time I guess him and another kid were asking if they could go in when the othe team was subbing and I guess he told them to stop asking hime questions.

Maybe he saw your takes on the Super Bowl championship Chiefs team and is taking it out on your son.
Won’t sniff playing time! |

I coached little league competitive baseball for 10 years. Every kid knew why they weren’t playing or what I expected for them to keep improving to stay as a starter.
But, I coached a year of rec ball before competitive and I wasn’t 22 but 30. Give him some slack or help coach. |

Youth soccer sounds like a shit show to me if it is so competitive an 8 year old kid has to tryout for a team.

All sports have try outs for teams younger than that. Parents have to cover $2000-$10K a season to play with the best teams. I’m glad my kid aged out before it got like that.

Pete, you signed up for a COMPETETIVE team. Lose the rec league "everyone is a winner" attitude.

Option 1: Tell your kid not to suck.
Option 2: Beat the shit out of the coach. Option 3: All of the above. |

I wouldn’t put us in a out of town tournaments unless we could drive back to KC at night. I rarely got the best players because they and the parents felt they had to be on one of the traveling teams to give their son a chance at a scholarship or MLB.
We did get ranked top 5 one year and got to play in a WS. That was pretty cool. But I’m really happy with my choice to not be a traveling team. Enable families lives to revolve around a son playing a kids game in the dirt and grass. |
