My DD has been playing for a local village team since last year. Last year they said they were full but she could train with them and then this year she was told she was on the team. She isn’t very good but always turns up, tries hard and has perfect behaviour. Now they have said they are inclusive BUT after Xmas they are going to ask children to leave as the number of children is making it difficult and they want to be more competitive. This is obviously meaning her and possibly a couple of others as they hardly ever give them any game time.

I feel like this is really shitty of them to announce on WhatsApp and leave the parents to tell the kids they’ve been dumped. Is this kind of behaviour acceptable?! Can you get your subs back if you get chucked off a team?

They aren’t a top level team and the training etc is very laid back so I doubt them losing a couple of the weaker players would really make much difference. The top player rarely shows up anyway 🤷‍♀️

@Turkeysausagepie You have also chosen one of the worst sports outside of the so-called “elite” ones (equestrian, rowing, tennis etc).

Football in Britain is a religion, not a sport.
