[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave early get there on time. Part of the whole team expierience is learning to be accountable. Your letting down your teammates who do the right thing and show up on time. Honestly if you were late to your job evry day it wouldn’t be acceptable. late for school the same . If your join any team it’s part of the commitment . If you don’t take it serious enough to show don’t join the team just take your kid to the park and kick it around with them . I’m not acting like it’s the us national team. But it is a commitment don’t let others down .[/quote]

+1. This is part of why we do sports in the first place: To build character, learn discipline, value teamwork, sportsmanship. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule and there's no need to go crazy about it, but as a general matter you should make a point of being on time.

Incidentally, who pays has zero to do with it (and gosh I hope you're not teaching your kid that you don't need to be accountable to others just because you're writing a check. That's a pretty terrible lesson to teach a child!) If you make a commitment to a team, you commit to practices. So make every reasonable effort to be on time, understanding that from time to time, things will come up and that's ok, too. [/quote]

Gee, I don’t know, I kinda think teaching a commitment that work and a job that feeds a family are important too. I know letting the team down is serious business but so is paying the mortgage and feeding the family. Jesus the bubble you people live in. [/quote]

If you are teaching your child that these all matter ( mortgage and team) and they work hard on and off the field, i think they’ll be ok. if they are late, a slacker, and don’t work hard off the field, no one will be happy. Cheers [/quote]
