Any successful program always plays their starters and only substitues when necessarry and the substitues or playing time has nothing to do with politics. If you're child is not getting enough playing time they clearly don't meet the expectations, don't put enough effort in, or just simply shouldn't be on the team. At a highschool level nobody cares about making a player happy by putting them in the game to lift up their self esteem when it puts the game at risk. Every coach wants to win. If you're child is upset because they are not playing then they are in for a rude awakening at the college level if they even make it. Go ahead and be "SO glad" youre child doesn't go to ESM i'm sure they'll make it far if they're babied. ESM has a successful program and have made it to LIC's the past two years. Facts don't lie. You can't take anything from that program and the coaching is clearly working with the success they've been having. In the end, the parents complaining and being immature need to stop because you're not changing anything and in the real world this doesn't get you anywhere but trouble and you're setting a bad example for your children.
