A big difference between a parent doing it and or the coach. Since when is it anyone's business what any of these people do in their spare time, they can invite whoever they want to play in a tournament with them.Stop being so dramatic happens all the time on many teams.A yj parents puts their child's school team into a tournament and needs some extra players so they invite a couple of YJ teammates.Amazing that sports have now become so politically correct, baseball teams have all-star games at all ages not every kid is asked to try-out.Grow up, so your kid wasn't asked, move on.Now you know what the kids who work just as hard as your kid feels like when they are put on the red team or gold or. blue 2 for that matter.
You are right that it happens all the time, been through it many times. It causes many hurt feeling between friends, teammates, parents and will completely destroys teams. I'm sure you all had a great weekend at the tournament but all the long lasting effects of it are just beginning. In my opinion its never worth it in the end.
