[quote=Anonymous]with my limited football knowledge i believe the QB throws/passes the ball to a running or catching player while a whole bunch of other players just try to out-run/block each other. my question is, if you DS is neither the QB or the go-to catcher/runner, does he still enjoy playing (not talking about being a good teammate etc., but actually playing the game)? DS9 learned a tough lesson last year playing rec basketball when he basically just ran up and down the court barely touching the ball, and ultimately was very frustrated (i posted a thread back then). now this year he started playing flag football in PE and extended day and really liked it, and was asking to sign up for flag football in the spring instead of soccer. my worry is in PE or extended day the teacher/staff make sure everyone gets their fair share of chance and in a very controlled environment. with rec games in 9/10-yos i don't believe the 'everyone is a star' mentality applies anymore (at least from what i could see in soccer that teams at this age do try to play to win most times if not all). i guess it'll be his choice to make but i'd like to know what we're signing up for if i need to be prepared to eventually see his sad face again...[/quote]
