AIBU to take DC's football coach down a peg or two?

[Footballmum24]

DD 7 has been dropped from her grassroots football team as her coach has 'advised' us she finds another team. She is not the best player on the team but is also not the weakest. DH dared to publicly challenge the coach on unfair playing minutes which resulted in DD being cut off and DD out of the team. This all feels very unfair to me to do this to a child with no real explanation. All season I have watched my daughter endure the shouting from her coach, she visibly shrinks and doesn't play to the best of her ability as she hates being shouted at. Coach only seems to care about winning and not about the children's well-being.
So do I make a formal complaint or just leave with some dignity.
YABU: dignity
YANBU: take him down, he shouldn't be coaching young kids

This is a useful guide of what to expect in foundation phase football.
PAGE 12 sets it out
Equal game time for equal chance to play & develop.
Rotate and learn all positions.
Let players u7-11 make own decisions in a game to learn.

ALL coaches should know this.
Re time commitment for coaches; bigger clubs have club secs to sort subs / pitch booking etc
Some have grounds where they book pitch but don't mark out or play centre based leagues.
Experienced coaches can knock up a session plan in their lunch break at work, others take longer.
It's anywhere between 3-23 hours a week!
All football coaches have guidelines they should follow

Footballs reputation is tarnished by small minority of idiots who think it's premier league and adults not young kids

Depressing that you've obv experienced that

DD now 13 and thank god gave up grassroots football last year. Far nicer atmosphere doing any other sport. Mine was good (and still is - excelling in school football) but had issues every bloody season. Parents making demands of coaches and screaming on the sideline. Coaches giving the DD of "difficult parents" whatever position they want for an easy life leading to less rotation with other kids. "Difficult parents" confronting coaches or telling their DD not to pass the ball as "it's yours" then the kid losing possession every single time as teammates call for the ball. Screaming coaches, DD apologising to referee aged 9 because of screaming as teenage ref from parents. Kids not being rotated fairly or given enough playing time. Kids aged 12 being called together by teenage ref for being rude to her. Team losing every match but still in same division to "make them play better" as they all lose confidence. It's bloody drama and stressful every single season. Don't bother complaining as what the coach or ref says goes. Get out of this team and find another. If another team doesn't work out then leave ASAP for another without finishing the season. If you can't find a decent team then find a better sport. Toxic, toxic!

Its barbaric and that age it should be about fun.

So many bloody coaches obsessed with finding the next Renaldo rather than giving kids a space and medium to have some fun.

Find a new team with better principles. My DCs team are 100% focussed on fun and they are brilliant with the kids, it’s such a happy atmosphere and the relaxed nature makes them actually really good players who aren’t terrified under pressure

@YaMuvva your coach gets it

@TigerTraveller that sounds utterly bonkers. Coaches need to set out their philosophy in Aug Sept and allow parents to decide if it fits them,
Kids give up when fun stops

Yep! I’ve told them I’m never leaving them 🤣🤣
