Wow....... Just relax....... If the coach is saying "Who cares its just winterball" I would bail. You can get that anywhere. Real coaches, teams, and organizations dont use that term. Winter is supposed to be more practice than play. Mechanic, Fundamentals, and learning the game are the priority. "Its just winterball" come on now...... Did he tell the parents that before he cashed the checks.
But if you must know the reason those girls are allowed to play even with all the errors is because the coaches want to develop those players. The ones on the bench are just there for a few reasons. #1 In case someone gets hurt #2 Fill the roster till they get someone better #3 The coaches dont like the parents #4 Support the team $$$$$

From where I sit (Hooters), there seems to be three types of teams out there:
Team (1) Run through girls like crazy always looking for the next best thing. A puppy mill sort of. In that case the girls best interest is not the priority rather winning at all cost. Not my preferred scenario. Win/Lose

Team (2) Hold on to girls too long where you have certain girls who never play and certain girls that play all the time. That scenario does not help the player or the team because by not recycling some of the talent you get girls who are happy sitting and some girls who get complacement in there positions. Lose/Lose

Team (3) Every break they let maybe up to 5 girls go who haven't shown growth for whatever reason. Hold agressive tryouts where the returning girls have to fight to keep their positions and you bring on girls that are good enough to be always challenging for playing time with existing starters. The teams I've seen that exercise this formula seem to be the ones that are always successful and compete for nationals every year. Win/Win

and "That's all I got to say about that."

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH RICHARD. IT SEEMS GIRLS ARE KEPT FOR LOYALTY AND THE GAME HAS PASSED THEM BY AS THEY GET OLDER. AND ALL IT DOES IS CREATE A LOSING ATMOSPHERE BECAUSE THE TEAM FEELS IT HAS TO PLAY THEM. IF TEAMS WANT TO COMPETE AT A HIGHER STANDARD THEY SHOULD TOTALLY AGREE WITH TEAM #3 WHICH IT SHOULD RUN THERE ORGANIZATION!!!!! :!: :!: :!:

Screw you,

Winterball is the time and place that coaches should be moving girls around to see where they best fit. If the coach is not doing this now, run. It will not improve in the regular season.
To each their own.
