[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you skip every practice to only show up for games as a starter or star player, you are not part of the team.  You are nothing more than a ringer.[/quote]

An 8 year old ringer now? [/quote]

If he is not part of the team than what is he then?[/quote]

Somebody with a parent that brings him to games.

Team builds together.  Teams put in the work together.

There is no “I” in team.[/quote]

And for all this talk of "team" and commitment at such young ages, how many of you can even name the roster of your 2nd or 3rd grade team in any sport?

I certainly can't but I can still field, throw and hit a baseball. [/quote]

I think you got hit in the head with a baseball.  [/quote]

Oh, please, half of you can't even remember your kindergarten teacher not to mention a 3rd grade rec baseball team.

You can remember kids, but I couldn't begin to tell you what years or teams I played with them. In several cases I may be confusing playing against them with playing with them. And these were all kids I went to school with.

the point is, looking back, I don't remember the teams. But my body remembers the skills, my mind remembers game and my heart remembers how it all made me feel. The kids, the teams, the parents are all honestly just a blur. And if you are honest with yourself the faces would be a blur too.

So stop worrying about that kid, stop worrying about the team and instead just worry about your kid learning and having fun. [/quote]
