Tough spot.
by: Anonymous

Unfortunately, there seems to be some amount of this thing on every team. I too coach my daughter along with the manager whose daughter is on the team. As a player growing up, I hated the kid whose dad was always at practice, and he always seemed to be the coaches favorite and getting off easy. I think that's why I always tell my daughter that she needs to work harder than everyone else because I don't want others to think I'm playing favorites. Later on as a coach, I was reading something. Why shouldn't the coaches or managers daughters get a little more playing time even if their talent isn't quite up to snuff. They are usually the first ones there and the last ones to leave, help with the gear, wether they want to or not. But after reading this and you find that it doesn't explain at least a little playing time for some of the others, maybe you should bring it up to your parents and talk to the coaches. Maybe finding a more competitive team is what you need as more emphasis is put on winning and playing the best players. Hope this helps.
