Playing Time

What is Buffalo United's stance on playing time?

Theory

Players develop in training! The competitions allow players to demonstrate what their current readiness levels are and to allow the coach a chance to observe what areas individuals and the team needs to work on. Of course, games are also fun for players, coaches, and fans. Playing time in the club is not going to be equal. Like the competitive emphasis, playing time inequities will grow with the advancing age levels. Younger teams will tend to play everyone fairly equally, but older teams will be more likely to play players more based on merit and abilities. Overall everyone, regardless of age, should get the chance to play. BUSC asks parents to evaluate the amounts of playing time your child gets over multiple games. Concerns and issues if playing time should be addressed via the proper chain of command.
