The coaches “KIDS” not the coaches. I reread my post and I specifically says coaches kids, not the coaches.
Sorry I misread your post. Had eye surgery recently which sometimes prevents things I read from going from my eyes through my brain.
Our coaches kids, including my own, did not play if there was someone on the team who was better at their position. We played to win, not to give the coaches and the kids something to do in their spare time.
