Posting all this on here helps no one. Yes some parents were upset and voiced that concern , some openly some in private. Coming on here bashing a parent because he was upset is not the best way to work thru this.Bashing coaches on here is not the right way to work thru it either. To say the team has not shortened the bench in the past is just not being honest and maybe your kid played more so you did not notice .The thing is many other parents and other clubs are praying that the team fails and the parents come on here and kill one another, putting the drama on here helps no one.Its pretty simple ,if your kid plays a lot be supportive but know that in the near future she may be on the side line. If your kid does not then either figure out what she needs to work on and if you think its all politics then maybe a move to another club is in order, just remember the kids on the field did nothing to your daughter so at least support them.
