El Clasico

Every player does not "need" to get time in...they may "want" to get time in. They're on the bench because coach believes kids on the field are better. If the player/parents do not like that then they should work harder to get better. Always have the option to quit and join a DPL team.
So the team signed up and paid to only showcase some girls? Have showcases changed that much over the years? Use to be that reputable coaches made a point of playing the girls that needed a little extra exposure MORE in the showcases as the results were meaningless. With my olders, there were times when some of the stars (already committed) didn't even bother attending a showcase because the coach wanted to "showcase" girls who needed more exposure and had invited coaches out to watch. Todays environment is now a culture of win at all costs and I, for one, don't think that leads to a better end result.
