Sure make a comment. But when it continues to singling him out, commenting on relation to the coach. Cmon. He’s 12 years old and you’re on the internet berrating his tackling style and hoping he learns a harsh lesson in NPL.

Discuss the development. Discuss the positives. On the whole there’s some good discussion around the program and aspects of it.
Then there’s the other trash rumours or fact (idk). Find out other clubs approach to things. Discuss your feelings around the program and what your clubs approach seems to be to issues like 1 v 2 teams.

Ok so i assume so of this was directed at me.Just to clarify,i was talking about a kid who I rate but worry about some technique issues (part of his development).The harsh lesson i talked about was getting to grade and refs pulling him up on things hed been doing for 4 years. The harsh lesson will be cards and possible suspensions for things no one had an issue with for 4 years.I put that back on coaches who should be helping avoid that.I agree with your overall point about singling out kids regarding cheap shots its far from an issue in the program so anything isolated should be dealt with at club level not here.So the smaller issue is the player which yes i could have not used as an example, but the bigger discussion point was coaches letting things creep into the games in the name of winning at the expense of doing the best thing for the kids development.
