Quote: snowie "I think a lot of parents are caught in the same situation.
I've been watching and helping since the under 9s, there are some more dominate bigger players within teams at that young age which is difficult to get them to release the ball as it starts off driving the ball on runs, off loads or passes then tend to form a swarm around the ball, quite endearing at a young age but frustrating as the kids grow up, try telling 10 year old to stay in position and keep focus on the ball takes some doing.
the next stage is you will get kids that start to run across the line passing all the players that are hold station waiting for the ball and their chance.
it doesn't get any easier as they grow up but a good coach should be able to talk to their parents and the parents should have some trust in there coaching
is the arguing between players or parents?'"
Between the players they were at it before they started on Saturday but after talking to the young un after it turns out it is always the same kid who wants more of the ball even though he gets it probably twice a set,every set,the problem there being he is the coaches favourite with everything that comes with that and also his dad shouting on the sidelines that he should get even more ball.This in turn is causing an underlying tension between the parents.
