Pulling one starter out makes the rest get with it. However, I never suggest the whiners or the people who threaten to quit; I grab the kids who are team players and who work hard.
They deserve to get field time. Bottom line- suck it up, keep working hard, earn your spot, be a team player. Oh yeah, and build a repoire with the assistant coaches. I know how that feels but what you have to understand is that you don't know what the coaches plan is for his team.
K Pro New Member. Here's the deal, I have the same exact problem, except I am on the JV team. But, half of my team doesn't get game time. My coach never changes the midi lines, attack lines, D poles, or goalie. Even if they look extremely exhausted and can't run without huffing and puffing, while walking down the field. I know the coach wants to win, but seriously if he is not going to play the rest of the team then why did he let us aboard?
The only reason I can think of is to be ready for next year, but getting no game time doesn't prepare us for anything. When ever I ask him if I can switch out for a tired player he totally blows me off, and he can totally hear me too. When I say "coach" he looks at me then I will ask to go in then he will just redirect himself towards the game. I used to play midi, but now I am midi and D pole just so I can get any type of game time I can.
We bench warmers are not that bad, but that's what he conceives us as, so that's what he will think and we will have no chance to improve. We have gotten play time, but only if we are up by at least 5 points in the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter. So far in six games this is what has happened to me: 50 seconds of midi play time last 50 seconds of game - decked two kids, nearly scored 3 minutes of D pole play time last 5 minutes of game - didn't let an opposing play through my zone, and no one scored even on our not-so-good backup goalie we lost My parents are PO'd about this and keep on telling me to work harder, even though I talk to the coach everyday after practice he says the same things "work on your stick skills" he says that every single time, nothing specific even if I ask.
So, basically, I was wondering if anyone knows ways to solve this problem we also do NOT have an assistant coach. Last edited: Apr 17, K, it sounds like your coach is a control freak who may be trying to relive his life through your team.
He was probably one of three things: 1. Never good enough to start and is determined to repeat history. While these complaints did not describe the experience of the majority of players and parents, they nonetheless made up a sizeable minority, and ALA wanted to do something about it.
When it came to providing suggestions for improving coaching and the culture of the sport, parents and players who completed the survey also had clear ideas about what needed to change. Apart from ensuring the coaches were experienced and knew the sport, many suggestions revolved around fairness and equity for participants.
This included having equal playing time, equal training, and tiered teams to accommodate different levels of skill and interest. For the ALA, the player retention survey has helped them to adjust course. They have used the survey data to shape their new strategic plan for lacrosse in Alberta, and they are introducing things such as the Respect the Ref program to address some of the key concerns.
As the ALA strategic plan is implemented through , it will be interesting to see how the new changes impact player retention. The main problem I find in a related sport hockey is that too many players are pushed to play travel rather than in-house exclusively at their neighbourhood or local arena. So there just are not enough local leagues for regular kids who just want to be on the ice twice a week playing recreational hockey.
Therefore even to play just recreational hockey required travel beyond just the local rink otherwise not enough players in the recreational division if the entire program is at one arena. However drop outs are an example of a bigger problem. Thanks guys! How much do you like lacrosse? If you think you can be at a level to be a recruited athlete at the schools you are interested in, keep it up, for sure.
Do you want to play in college? Instead, to follow the LTAD long term athletic development model, kids should play as many sports and extracurricular activities as possible during their key development years. Play hockey in winter, hang up the skates after the season and play lacrosse or baseball in the spring and summer and most importantly be a kid … go to the beach, free play soccer, ride your bike, swim, camp and so on.
Summer should be the time for free play. Too much structure in organized sports is one of reasons why we are seeing kids quit by age Ask yourself.. How then can we recommend to a young athlete as early as 7 years old they should specialize in one sport only as they show early promise?
