[quote=Anonymous]The biggest thing I took away from this is that...I glad the coach at least had the kid dribble the ball when he made him do the lap.  If he didn't, then I would have been very much against the lap. Kids don't need to do laps in general and 8 year olds don't need fitness training. I never have used exercise as a punishment.  When kids acted this way, I gave them a warning and then the 2nd time I sent sat them out (like a time out), 3rd time they needed to find their parent, explain what he/she did, and have the parent bring him back to me and explain how we would go forward.  Here's the thing....at 7/8 years old, they are being coached most likely by volunteer parents.  I was one and then I moved on and got licenses and I coach travel now with older kids....but as a volunteer parent, I didn't have time to deal with bratting kids.  I'm not a babysitter.  I repeat...coaches are not babysitters, so if your kid cannot behave, work with the coach very closely.  The coach has a TEAM of crazy 7/8 year olds to worry about, not teaching your kid discipline.
