[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my son's third year playing rec basketball in a large rec league where most kids from his school play. The last two years were enjoyable, but this year has been pretty awful. My son's team was not the problem. Nice kids and coaches, somewhere in the middle of the pack in terms of standings. The problem has been poor sportsmanship by the best few teams in the league. Some really egregious behavior out of the coaches, players (usually the coach's kid), parents, even extended family members of the opposing team. The refereeing has been terrible and is probably leading to some of these teams feeling emboldened to act this way.

Is this just how rec basketball is as the kids get older? Is travel any better? I don't think my son could make a first team but maybe a second or third team for county basketball. I don't think AAU is an option due to his travel sport schedule in the spring. Or does anyone have a rec league in central/western/northern Fairfax County that they would recommend for next year? I don't want to pull my son from basketball if he enjoys it, but I don't think we can take another year in this league. [/quote]

It is ALWAYS the coach's kid. Some coaches are just awful (not all of them, but some of them let their kids get away with horrible things - like injuring other children).[/quote]
