[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s only a problem when a child is being disruptive, doesn’t take directions from a coach, and/or clearly doesn’t want to participate. I can’t imagine people getting upset about a kid who is listening and trying but just isn’t as far along in their skills. That being said, I think it’s worth it for all parents to do a little research on leagues/teams before signing their kid up. Some leagues are annoyingly competitive from a young age and it’s hard when there is such a wide range of skill levels. When a couple of dads decide they’re going to put a super team of 7 year olds together, it’s tough for the rest of the teams where half the kids are just learning how to play. This seems particularly bad in basketball. There are some organizations like i9 which are great for kids who are just learning and you don’t have to deal with the super competitive parents (which is where the kids get it from). [/quote]
