Question? Our coach, being upset the boys are not doing well, desides to add a girl to the roster with no discussion with the boys or thir parents. Its official so it cant be undone and now a bunch of boys want to leave the team. Any feed back??

Having played both teams (and this is JUST an opinion), no slights intended. I think Smithtown plays better "soccer" not that WB doesn't just give Smithtown the edge there BUT WB was faster and more aggressive which far too often games are determined by those 2 qualities. It's a guess but I would think 3 or 4 to 2 WB takes it.

It seems you are angry with the addition of a young lady to your boys team..I doubt your coach would add her if he didnt feel she was a positive to the team..i believe if a player,regardless of gender,that helps your team should be added..at a young age,as yours is,girls are typically bigger,listen better,and take direction better than boys.i know.i coached a boys premier team and i'd have given my arm for a few of our same age girls team players..It sounds as if you are a bit worried about your own kids playing time.Take it as a learning experience..dont make her feel unwanted,thats not fair...i also doubt that all of the parents feel as you do...let it play out and i bet it works out in a positive way.if you are digruntled then go..but give her a chance...btw..what is your soccer/sports expierence...its 2011...get out of the dark ages...good luck to you,your team and that special young lady who is taking a huge chance...she must be a brave kid..

did you ever take time to get to know him or play for him?
