[quote=Anonymous]I had this situation in high school in a sport I excelled at.  I chose not to play senior year.  I had been the star of the team (since it's anonymous I'll go ahead and say it) and it was a big deal and noticed that I didn't play.  No seniors played on the team my senior year.  We were all over it and done.  My parents totally empowered me to make this decision and supported me.  The coach got fired the next year.  I was asked directly about why I wasn't playing by the Athletic Director and gave the real answer.

So my advice is really just support your son in his feelings and whatever he wants to do and make clear what these coaches are doing is not right and not okay.  And if I was you, I'd complain to the Athletic Director.  They may do nothing and that's fine.  But you would have said something and they'd have another data point.  If enough people complain, they will feel compelled to do something at some point.

It was FANTASTIC not playing the sport my senior year.  I loved every damn minute of not playing.  I pursued another activity I'd never been able to do before.[/quote]
