Take it slow. Maybe if you wait a while, I'm sure you'll get a chance to play. Everybody's gotta be on the sidelines for a bit


You don't wanna give up ur only chance, man! Give it your all, and that will make the coach wanna let you play.

Yea we'll see. I'll stick it in for like the next game or 2. That game was only like 32 minutes too, and we only have like 9 or 10 games in total, which is what freakin sucks.

Somebody is always left out. It just happens. You can't play every player every game. And most of the time, coaches lie when they say everyone will play.

You're a first year player, there's normally no chance.

Well this was happening with me as well for a bit this year. And I guess it was because they thought I wasn't hustling enough in practice. But anyways, everytime I've gotten the ball thrown to me in a game so far I've scored points, so I think they're starting to realize what's up :)

My advice; shut up and be pateint. The coach will play you when he sees fit.

He's right. You can't do anything else except for quit, which would make you look like a baby.

mmm.... i figure you can complain all you want... it may work... it may not... the easier way to get to play is to be better than the others... and earn the spot... <_<

i personally played free safety for my football team... but the coach knew i was better than the entire defence... as i was backup to every position other than me being lead free safety... i even played line... and i was the smallest on my team... yet better than most...

Today I had my first game of the football season, also my first game in a real football team. So I'm on the kickoff team and I'm 2nd string wide receiver on Offense and 2nd string cornerback on defense.

I'm freakin' cheering on my team, filling up the water bottles, cheering my teamates up, basicly doing everything you can do at the sidelines. And what do I get in return, I don't even ******* play. The whole game, the same wide receivers and cornerbacks were played. That's freakin bull**** because the coach even said he was going to play everybody. I know I never really played on a real football team, but I'm one of the best and fastest people on the team and I should of got in. That's how you learn, you go in, you make mistakes, you fix them, you try again.

I'm so ******* pissed right now, I swear if I don't play the next game I'm quitting the team, I join the team to play not to be a freakin waterboy/cheerleader. <_<

Who else has this happened to?

[/rant]

Basically the same exact thing happened to me with the soccer team last year. I wanted to quit too, but I finally got played on the second to last game and scored like 3 goals.


The point of this is.....stick with it, you'll get your chance. Just be ready to show your stuff when it's time so you don't get stuck back on the bench.

If you want to play in your later years (unless you're a senior) I suggest you don't quit, if you stay with it it will at least show your coaches that you're determined and maybe they'll let you play.

I don't really see what the problem is here. He might have said he would play everybody, but during the game he might have realized that it was in the team's best interest to keep certain people in. And it's only one game. I think you're severely over-reacting.
