[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to make him quit all together because it’s a good outlet for energy and he is really into it and loves it — the issue definitely isn’t that he isn’t interested. I think I’m going to start instituting a rule that if he cries we will have to go home. Maybe after doing that once he will get that this is a big deal. These are activities designed for 4-5 year olds so he isn’t the only one crying — just the only one crying because he isn’t winging etc. [/quote]

Before you decide what to do, email the coach and ask how they would like you to handle it.[/quote]
But don't you think coaches generally want more kids enrolled? It's a money thing.[/quote]

The coaches don't want people (the crying kid or those around him) having a bad experience all season because then they don't come back.  The coach will be able to tell you whether they think they can handle the crying child (some kids really do respond better to a non-parent than to a parent in those situations), if they'd prefer to settle him off the field, etc. [/quote]
