[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP.  Endless passing at that age sounds like the coach is doing a great job.

My kids have been on good and bad teams.  Some of the hardest times have come with the good teams. My daughter's first travel team was indescribably awful.  They lost every single game during the fall and spring seasons, except for one tie.  You know what? Most of the girls are still playing soccer and the girls and parents have remained friends after many years. The coach had a bond with the girls and the girls with each other.

Was it hard to watch each game? Yes. Is it demoralizing if you lose 15-0?  Absolutely. But in the end, what my daughter got out of that year was worth more than the year my son spent on a top team with a bully coach.  Each season brings new challenges.  It is easy to say, and much harder to do, I know, but sit back and enjoy the ride.  Don't try to change him. Trust me, if your son is happy, getting better, and having fun, that's worth more than goals or team wins.[/quote]
