Why don't you just tell us who the coach is and what team it is?That is a great post topic!
See this as coaches have to come up with some sort of standards and parameters for their teams.
Otherwise parents/players will decide how and when they want to cooperate because there is no control.
Players and families get to decide who they're going to try out for.
Coaches have to decide who they will let on their team.
if everybody knows upfront how the team is ran, it should make it easier for those who want to try out and those who don't want to.
For this team,
It was of no surprise to the list of players who wanted a spot on his roster.
Who would gratefully become available for a chance to try out.
