We argue about youth sports that bench kids while asking parents to fund the program. One father shares how his 13-year-old showed up, worked hard, and never saw the field, sparking a hard look at size bias, safety claims, and what coaches owe developing players.
• the costs and promises of select and club teams
• the politics of tryouts and who you know
• a 13-year-old wide receiver who never gets a snap
• safety rationale versus size bias in coaching
• development-first versus win-only priorities
• practice attendance, effort, and transparency
• pay-to-play pressure and fundraising fatigue
• parent advocacy that helps, not harms
• what fair playing time can look like at 12–14
• simple roles that build confidence and skill
