[quote=Anonymous]I said I would never be that parent but fate had a different plan. I wanted to wait until middle school... but my son was very athletic so it was not really a “choice”. In football he was told he wasn’t allowed to carry the ball after we were up 3 TDs. In soccer the league would not allow him to play with his age he had to play 2 ages up. In lacrosse he was told he could not hit anybody. His hit literally took kids off their feet. The kids were fine but parents complained. It’s hard to teach a 9yo to throttle back. I held off until 5th grade and had to do travel for everything. Dumped football added wrestling since it’s weight and age. (Except his weight was very low... but it just felt more even) Plays in college now. So I did judge these parents but is it fair to kids in rec to play against somebody like this? [/quote]
