Damn poor Pete. Some people really laid it on this man. In all honesty Pete clearly just loves his kid and wants to protect him, can’t fault the dad for being a dad. At least he posted his topic and continued to engage with a handful of posters and receive constructive feedback that was opposing his views.
Id like to think if chiefsplanet legitimately showered Pete with the notion to go and have this “talk” with the coach because it is well deserved… well, we’d probably be replying to a new thread by Pete titled “I talked to the coach and it went poorly part 2” thread. Glad you shared Pete and glad to see you were willing to legitimately hear others opinions and im sure it’s because you want to do right by your son and handle the situation like a responsible loving father should. I’m not sure if others missed this but you deserve credit Pete! |

1. How many players start vs bench? 2. Is your bench/roster number high/low in comparison to other teams? 3. How competitive is your league (do they travel)? 4. What are the coaches credentials? 5. What are your credentials?

Interesting turn of events to finish out the season. Our last league game my son played a ton but we only had 2 subs and it was very hot. I chalked it up to that a bit.
Then our last weekend was a tournament. Now, I don't know what the **** got into my son but in game #1 he came out and literally looked like a completely different player. Was just playing his ass off. We played up 3 kids so for that game we had 4 subs. My son, however, sat all of about 10 minutes of that game. Ironically in that game I noticed the coach was not subbing much. Even to the point that I was starting to whisper to my wife that he isn't playing the bench much. The next day I found out that one of the parents was pissed, emailed the coach about it and that the coach never replied. My kid played Goal Keeper most of game #2 but then was pulled when we were up by 3 goals and finished the game in the field. On day 3, a message went out that one of the players wasn't going to be at the game(s) that day. I cannot say for sure it was the kid of the pissed off parent but I am pretty sure it was. My kid actually continued on with his beast mode breakout, and in that game and the finals sat a total of 10 mins. Also was a key part of us not only getting to the finals but winning. So, I guess my point is, as much as I was pissed at my son's coach and wanted to say something, all I did was tell my kid to work harder to get better. That paid off. The parent that complained, well, I can say that I completely understand where they were coming from but I am not sure he made the right move. All in all, seems like this parent chose to do what I only contemplated doing and then chose to pull his kid out of the rest of the games. That's a lesson I would not want to teach my kid. Be pissed at the coach if you want too, but don't quit in the middle of things. But, perhaps the coach got the message he needed to get as well??? This little league soccer is serious shit and stuff!!! |

You approaching him and critiquing him would be equivalent to you approaching a doctor at the hospital and telling him how to do his job. Means less than nothing from you but if from the Chief of Staff means a tremendous amount. |

To your point, though, sorta, a parent from a team we played against got tossed out by the Ref. Another got a warning for walking on the field and talking to his kid who was playing in Goal. |
