    Tell the coach or not? Players drinking

    Over heard players talking about partying (drinking) the night before our U16 state cup game. Their play reflected it.

    Should the coach be told? How would you handle as a parent? Possibly will come back on my player as the "rat".

      Nobody likes a rat. Nothing you can do to change the past. And you probably don't know how it affected each one individually and the full list of culprits. If their play was bad, coach would just think certain players were bad and take necessary action. If your kid was not a part of it, then your kid could be up for more playing time. A lot of things could be attributable to poor play: hangover, relationship problems, bad grades, lack of sleep, domestic abuse, death in the family, etc.

        Keep quiet. Some crusader will go overboard and the next thing you know somebody will try to impose the death penalty on everyone involved....

          Leave a sixpack of virgin bloody mary mix and bottle asprin on the bench before the next practice.

            Maybe it's time that you all realize, despite the insanity that reigns on this site, that soccer is not always the most important thing in a kid's life, right or wrong.
            I'm amazed that you haven't found a way to blame the coach...somebody will make it his fault.

              They are 15/16 year old kids, leave it be. No one likes a rat and this will come back to bite your kid in the ass.

              DON'T SAY ANYTHING!

                Send an anonymous e-mail just like how people post on here puffing out their chests.

                  Absolutely tell the coach. They will likely listen to him/her over parents. DO IT NOW.

                    If the kids that were talking start instead of your kid I would definitely rat them out.

                      If there are kids on the team that were not drinking and are upset that the kids that were drinking and didn't play well, let them confront them and tell them if they want to drink don't do it before a game when the rest of us came prepared for. But you should not do it.

                        That's a good idea.

                        And really it should be up to your son to decide next steps, not you. Either confronting the players, telling the coach (or not) should be his decision as he's the one who will pay the consequences

                          He/She is a club soccer coach not the parent or guardian of these kids. They do not need to know.

                            They might want to know. Could solve the mystery of poor play.

                              Well drinking should not be a 'thing' at all and certainly not one of the most important over a sport. ILLEGAL DANGEROUS STUPID
