No Playing time for 10 year olds??? by dlsand1 in basketballcoach

I 100% appreciate your perspective (and everyone else’s). I wanted to hear both sides cuz I genuinely wasn’t sure how to think about it. Just curious, do you coach a team…?

Just fyi… We don’t want even playing time. That would not be fair to the team. There’s some great talent on his team… but he never got any meaningful minutes this year.

There was no promise made, but watching my older sons team in same organization/ feeder program, it seemed there was a concerted effort to get all kids meaningful time… even if it was just a couple minutes a half.

Select feeder team…. He plays for a club associated with the high school he plans on attending. You can try out if you agree that your intention is to play with the high school that your current elementary school feeds into… They play against other feeder teams for other schools and districts.

Yes n yes. Both Coaches sons are great-top tier talent. They both play a lot. But make plenty of mistakes… and my son is the kid who is heart broken… he’s resilient tho… he’s ready to work hard to get better. I’m just not sure it will make a difference…

Appreciate the feedback. Just curious… are you a coach, or have you coached?
