As a parent I feel I may have failed by enrolling my son in a youth sports program. He's 12, smart, good athlete, but small for his age. The coaches have made it clear that it's about winning and going to Nationals, and this means some kids will only get the minimum play time and that's just the way it is.
My question, is success for a coach about winning a championship at that age, and maybe having 5-10 go on to make the high school team, or developing more kids and having a good year, and having 15-20 make the high school team.
I just thought the competive stuff was more starting in HS.
