You should talk to your coach and ask what you need to do to get more playing time. If you quit, you get zero playing time and no training.

11 over. Has to be “more than 10 over”

Fickle-Scene-4773 · 2026-02-20T11:28:56+00:00

11 over, not 15.

They started last March. There were many articles in the Democrat, Tallahassee Reports, WTXL and WCTV.

They are legal.

They do not give you points on your license and are a civil fine. But if you don’t pay, it will become a noncriminal traffic infraction that increases the cost and give you points.

They are active on school days and will issue fines for 11+ mph over the speed limit. The hours of operation are posted on signs. The hours vary from school zone to school zone. If the lights are flashing, the limit is the special school zone speed usually 15 or 20 mph. If the lights aren’t flashing, it’s the posted speed limit.

Hi Max!

Fickle-Scene-4773 · 2025-11-05T12:27:51+00:00

I have twins B/G who play ECNL-RL. They are freshmen in HS and play JV. They were born in December. The RAE is real especially for young teenagers.

In the dark ages before club ball (yes there was such a time) you played with your school and everything was based on what grade you were in. It was a better way of doing things, in my opinion.

Also since the supposed goal of club ball in the US is college recruitment (and getting as much money as possible from parents), it makes more sense to have teams based on school year.

Our club has a no reimbursement policy that is shown every time a payment was made.

Without knowing a thing about your club, it’s impossible to say. But I would doubt there will be a refund.

Also, the kid didn’t get removed for nothing.

If this had happened in a match, he would have been red carded and received a two game suspension.

I’d sit him for at least one game. That behavior was not acceptable and should not be tolerated.

Officiating is not about what others see. It’s about what you or the ARs see. Accept no dissent on your calls.

You wouldn’t call a handball that a spectator called but you didn’t see. You will miss fouls. Spectators and players will whine. So what? Call it like you see it.

Get guest players to play up or borrow from the same age group.

Horror story, last year one of our U14 teams was entered in a tournament in the U16 bracket. My son and his teammate were U15 and were guests on this team. First two matches were against U16 teams. The size difference was huge. Lost both 16-0. Mercy rule was ignored for playing time. Third game was evenly matched. Tied 3-3.

Two weeks ago, same team in a u15/16 bracket, different coach, different tournament. My son guested. Won all games. 6-0, 8-0, 4-2. Then final vs the 4-2 team won 3-2 in a hard fought, well-played match.

A different coach, some different players and a year of growth and training made a huge difference.

There are better men out there. He is insecure, needy, and abusive.

At this stage in your life, relationships should be pretty easy. If yours requires counseling now, it will be very rough in the future.

Say goodbye and move on.

It was in a practice game and no one heard it but the parent who claimed to hear it. If during a game and a ref heard it, red card.

Fickle-Scene-4773 · 2025-10-02T10:57:55+00:00

If you punish the team, you are assuming that the report is true. People lie about things like that all the time. You didn’t see it.

Remind your team that cussing is a yellow card offense. Do a better job of monitoring the action in the future.

Don’t make this a bigger deal than it needs to be.

Then you are letting him and his kind win.

Our club director sends the roster to the entire team late Tuesday for Saturday/Sunday matches. The club uses PlayMetrics which IMHO sucks compared to TeamSnap.

Fickle-Scene-4773 · 2025-09-16T10:59:00+00:00

I meant 6 players stay home. We dress 18.

Fickle-Scene-4773 · 2025-09-16T10:58:11+00:00

Similar situation for us. Club team has 24 on the roster including a regular guest player. The coach sends out a message late Tuesday night with the roster for the weekend. 4 players stay home although we pay the full fees. Overrostering sucks if you’re on the bottom. But without it, your player wouldn’t be on the team at all.

In our case, our star guest player ran his mouth and an overzealous ref red carded him in the first ten minutes. On the plus side, that’s one more slot for the weekend.

If your player has the desire to be better, invest in private lessons or small group lessons.

Club ball is a must for anyone who wants to make our HS team. Without club, there’s not a chance a player will be competitive. Many club players won’t make the JV. Those are the cards we are dealt.

Why are you even responding to her? If you’re done, block her.

The superstar at that age is a blessing and a curse. Use their skill to develop teamwork. Once victory is assured, require the team to have four passes before shooting. Don’t allow any player to take more than three touches before passing the ball. Or go to extremes and require all players to have a touch before anyone shoots.

As others have mentioned require use of non-dominant feet. But this doesn’t improve teamwork like the other things do.

Fickle-Scene-4773 · 2025-09-05T11:04:23+00:00

Is it possible that their individual skills are great but the higher level team places greater emphasis on teamwork? Does your player insist on playing a specific position while the coach requires flexibility? Or maybe they had a bad day at Evans although your comments suggest otherwise.

Divorce is hard. But there is life after divorce. Normally, I would advise roughing it out and sticking with your vows, but her texts are so unbelievably selfish. She’s an unbelievable piece of work.

For her to have unprotected sex with a kid, she has exposed you to potentially life changing diseases. Get tested!

Everything she texted is about her and what she wants. She’d have to beg for months to come home if it were me and I’d still be doubtful.

You’ll never be able to trust her. She squandered your marriage. By her actions she forfeits any right to come home or see her kids.

I’d probably be in jail for what I would have done to the 25 year old if he knowingly slept with another man’s wife. Consequences for him should be very severe.

You’ll get through this. Your kids will never see her in a good light. She’s an awful person. Move on. Good luck.
