Okay, everyone has their opinion and justification. For me, I obviously want my kid to improve, but practice is IQ. The stick skills and training is apart from that. Further, I enjoy watching my kid on the field. If your son is not playing, that will not change. And his enjoyment in the sport is limited. My opinion, my view different. I think this is good discussion because this is now the norm and we are way to accepting of this. Lastly, not an advocate for equal play, because coaches should try to win. I advocate of a coach having plan to get every kid minutes. If they can't get on the field, than shame on that coach for taking the kid at tryouts.

“It is a tenet of good coaching that you get kids into games,” writes Jim Thompson, founder and CEO of the Positive Coaching Alliance, a US Lacrosse national partner. “Most of the benefits of playing a sport are tied to competing in games.”
