The reason my daughter chose to play for yellow jackets was she was tired of traveling all over with her team and on game day there were always the girls who were to busy to make it to practice or to work on their own running on to the field for equal playing time.It's a double edged sword but my daughters experience was exactly what she was looking for.another thing to keep in mind is that the player rotation is somewhat different if there is a championship with playoffs if you need to qualify by winning minutes can be tougher to come by.I have always explained it this way to my daughter' it's your job to make it impossible for the coach to ever consider taking you off the field it seems to work for her.Nothing wrong with earning your minutes which was explained to us at tryouts everything was up front.

There are few like this - which team?

Than there are others where the kid does not come off the field. In some cases the kid is one of the best players on the field and in others she is clearly not but she is still on the field way too much.

Where in the YJ literature does it say anything about equal playing time? In any close game half the team doesn't see the field at all!


You could not be further from the truth, I wish the YJ teams actually played to win but have rarely seen that , yes sometimes playing time is not equal but have yet to see a game in which a kid does not get in.


Ask the parents of girls on cr's 2018 team how it was watching the semi=finals and finals at national draw last year - there were a lot of sad faces
