We are not talking about rec soccer, we are talking about Senior level competitive soccer !! You are an idiot.

Not fair
Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's a myth that kids of Daddy coaches are not good. The vast majority are usually the better players on their teams. But like I said earlier, you should do your research and know who is your coach and if he is a Daddy coach and if his son plays on the team. If you did not do your research then you are stupid. If you did and joined the team anyway, well suck it up and stop complaining.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostFirst of all not all coaches kids are the better players. We were promised that our coach would not play daddy ball. His daughter was never a starter and had very little playing time. Some games she never played, this was in the past three-four years. This is the first year for this coach and his daughter starts every game and plays as much or more than players who have always started. We were all worried about that as parents, but were promised that it would not happen. If she was a high level player, none of us would have any issues with that and would want her on the field. That isn't the case here. She is not one of the top 11, never has been, but now with daddy coaching she all of a sudden is. Not fair to the rest of the girls and we were promised that it would not happen. We have a squad of 16 and she would more than likely rank as number14 or 15. How can you go to the coach with your complaints when it is about his daughter and how he is keeping kids on the bench that should be out on the field just so his daughter can play. Now the season has already started and we are all stuck on this team. Everyone had doubts but we were assured that nothing like this would happen.

Just tough it out and live and learn. Someone will be getting less playing time than last year to make way for the coaches daughter. Just try to make sure it is not your kid.

They automatically micro analyze every move and play that a coach's kid makes. Every bad play or mistake is magnified 10 fold by parents

Be Realistic
As a Daddy Coach who played NCAA soccer on a full ride who has advanced coaching licenses I would say the following.....
Coaching regardless of who is on your roster is about teaching the sport along with life lessons. Biggest life lesson through sport is to let all of your players know that effort level along with attitude matters most. That is what success is born from. You commit to work hard, recognize and improve in every area especially weaknesses and never give up. There is always someone ready to take your job take your position who is committed to work as hard or harder than you for that spot. There are no entitlement rights everything is earned through effort level, ability and attitude. That life lesson is what ultimately lands you the job after college.
Now that being said: I think Daddy coaches should step aside at the latest u14. I am also a huge fan of players being exposed to a variety of coaching styles and thus should consider switching coaches every 2 years.
