| Hopefully someone will be able to assist. We are on a select team and the coach is not moving the players around as he had promised at the beginning of the season. Only a few players are getting proper plays and the rest of the team is being left behind and not reaching their potential play. To make matters worse, his wife is the manager and possibly one of the worst managers ever and providing favoritism especially towards their own kid -- their kid only plays striker and will never play back along with a couple of other players. They are basically playing favourites while the remainder of the team who are more than willing to play are not able to because they are always stuck in the same positions.

| this is a tough one, first have a look in the mirror and ask yourself is it me thats dissapointed for my child, is my child happy there? if your child enjoys it at the club let them stay and try to get involved yourself then you might be able to advise the managers on team matters when you have experianced the difficulties of keeping everybody happy. its a tough life in kids football for managers, i will say that they don't learn how to play football if they don't get to play and that is a statement you might try as a hint to the manager

| Hi Soccerparent, Any manager should ensure equal playing time for all players as long as they are members of the squad. Sometimes this is difficult because of a large squad size. However undesirable, you have the ultimate sanction of finding your child another team. However if you wish to stay with the current side then you should make an appointment to speak to the manager IN PRIVATE. Doing so avoids a public slanging match which all concerned will later regret. Prepare a RATIONAL arguement based purely on FACTS and NOT on emotions. Avoid confrontation by taking a stance and saying such as : "I can sometimes see what you are trying to do for the team and I know that it is a difficult job, but................." You may then find you gain a more sympathetic ear. Hope his helps GTQ
