[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes you think more boys want to play sports than girls?

So many girls are cut every year from soccer at our school, same thing happens with tennis, basketball, softball,lacrosse, now flag football … it goes on and on.

What’s especially frustrating at our school is when coaches decide to take less than the allowed roster size “to make it easier on them.”

The corollary is how “it’s so hard for them” (the coaches) to make cuts.

[b]When you are literally hurting kids’ self esteem and self worth and taking away an identity they have had since kindergarten in many cases,[/b] don’t make it about you and how hard it is for you to make cuts or how much easier it is for you to take a smaller roster.

And please don’t cut kids in front of other kids.  It’s not a reality show.

I understand that smaller rosters may be more streamlined and easier to coach and understand that cuts must be made.  I only wish the coaches had just an ounce of emotional intelligence.

Or how about some new policies?[/quote]

Or, you're literally teaching kids life lessons about success and failure, how to deal with it, and adapt and move on.[/quote]
