I know i probably am, but I just cant let it go just like that.
So my son plays in a team sport. They have a team of 12 main players and they get rotated in and out during the games in groups of 4. 4 kids play for a few min, then the second group of 4 etc.
Anyways, they are quite bad over all. DS plays in a different club thats a bit more advanced (higer age group as well), but because of his younger age he is not yet allowed to compete with that team.
Anyways, they had a competition yesterday and only 4 players showed up including my son. 3 kids cancelled the same morning via sports app and the reason noted down was “doesnt feel like it”. It was terrible because its quite intense and the poor kids didnt get any breaks. For the second game my son managed to bring over two of his friends from the advanced team to help out and they did great.
DH says just let it go since it worked out for the best. They rarely win and with the advanced players they won easily for once. They probably would have lost if the main players showed up.
Im very tempted to send a message in the group chat because its pretty shitty to leave your team hanging with no valid reason and on such short notice. I usually dont really care much, but DS was completely drained after the first game and one of his teammates threw up in the end cuz he was over doing it.
Trainer probably should have cancelled with so little players, but the ones that did show up actually care about the championship and really wanted to try.
Would you say something? Ask the trainer to have a word? Just let it go since it worked out for the best?
