The kid is likely too good for that level of play but the Dad isnt good enough to coach a higher level, but the kid and the Dad have to be together otherwise the Dad isnt going to coach (which is likely needed) and the kid isnt going to play ($$).

One of the things that I got to experience is something that most Volunteer coaches dont get to, I get the impression that CaptainCrunch is the same way, but I dont know about you, but I was a 'Non-Parent Volunteer.'

No favourites.
That happened this year for me. My son made a higher team but the lower team needed a coach. The higher team had 5 coaches already. Since I volunteered to coach he was demoted. This is not a problem for me but it sucked for him as all his friends made the higher team.

IF you can have non-parent coaches that is the best, but those are hard to come by at the younger ages.
