[quote=Anonymous]What exactly are the uninterested kids doing? By 8 it 9 you should be able to expect kids participating in any activity to follow directions, pay attention most (but not all) of the time, and follow 2 or 3 step tasks. So if the kids get there and you say “go run a lap and then do 30 ball taps” all of them should go do that. If Larla picks flowed instead, or tried to run off to the playground, then it’s time to talk to her parents about her behavior. She’s not participating appropriately and not staying safe or being respectful of her team. But if Larla runs/walks, and grabs a ball but doesn’t put any energy into the drills... that’s life. Try to give her positive encouragement and notice when she does stuff right, but you can’t - and shouldn’t - do much else about it.[/quote]
