Not sure what politics are at play. The coaches are doing a nice job making sure all of the kids get time. Last year seemed to be a little more focused on getting the win, rather then getting game time for the bottom end of the roster. If not playing just your best players is politics, then you would be correct. This is 8th grade lacrosse; winning isn't everything. Team TEN has made some games closer than needed and lost a couple of games by playing all the kids. To me this is fine. The boys are having fun and playing well as a team.

One of the three coaches is a dad who has been coaching a lot of these boys since second grade. He is doing a great job and his son does not seem to be getting inordinate playing time or special treatment. I for one appreciate the time and effort he has put into developing my son as a player.
