I would be very willing to bet that you were looking for one player on EVERY play, not noticing every other player on the field.  I know there was not a "10 play minimum" rule in this game.  I was merely making a point that EVERY kid played more than you think.  I did not coach this team at all, however, I do not like it when people criticize a volunteer when they will not attempt to volunteer themselves, but are the first to gripe or cry. 

[quote name="kf'89" post="710127" timestamp="1258412886"] just becuz u coach doesnt mean your kid should play all the time & get special treatment.football is a team sport & when u involve every kid u make the team better.when the daddy ball kids know they are gonna  play both ways with out having to earn it or be taken out after making mistakes,they have no incentive to give 110% on every play.there is no way the ned. jr. team should have been beaten that bad,just proves you can think your kid is the best & be partial to them all you want, but the truth comes out when you play the game. 31-0 tells me all the partial treatment got u was a butt kicking!im sure these same partial treatment coaches told their kids it wasnt their fault & blamed everyone but themselves. 10 plays in a 40 minute allstar game is a joke,they all got to be pretty good to make the team,& from looking at the score those 10 play kids couldnt have done any worse. [/quote] I never said that if you coach, your kid plays the entire game.  What I was saying is why don't you coach and take some of the responsibility that the volunteers take on.  Why don't you coach & get the players you think, in the game.  I know MANY coaches that do not have kids playing.  2 of those coaches were on the All-Star coaching staff did not have a dog in the fight. Some of the kids did not make the practices either - how does that help the "team"?  It's easy being a Monday morning QB and criticize because you would do something different.  I agree.....either help coach or quit crying!!

From what i could see several of the kids didnt even touch the field and most(unless you where from I think the gold team) played only a few plays.  At this age these kids dont deserve that.  They are not stupid on what happens out there. [/quote] I am pretty sure that every kid played for Nederland Jr. at least 10 plays.  Of course, you will always have some that play a lot more but that is the way it goes.  I guess that some people want their kids to play the entire game, which will not happen when you have 30 kids on the team.  Can I ask....do you coach at all?  Maybe, you can help coach or at least talk to the coaches about your feelings.  Remember, we are all a little partial to our own kids.
