[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't begrudge coaches (in any sport) starting/playing their own children AT ALL.  It is a huuuuuuuuuge time committment to coach, the least they should get is a perk for their own kid.

You want your kid to play more? Make them a better player or volunteer to help out.[/quote]

Really mean spirited .  All he kids signed up to play they all need to play.

My son likes to watch football so he wanted to try it at around 8 years old.  There were two father coaches with puffed up chests thinking they’re Bill Belichick.  My son is on the delicate side and was never one to pick up a ball.   These guys were so obnoxious and just plain nasty.  They were doing warm up exercises in three random lines.  One of them screamed at him to get in the back.    When I asked why he didn’t play for the required minimum time the coach said he didn’t belong there.  We were aware of his lack of skills but it’s a child’s game meant to be fun.  But why make some kids have just an unpleasant experience.  This isn’t Texas, high schools have no cut football teams even though not everyone plays. They need to stop using fathers who volunteer.  They don’t always deserve respect. [/quote]

Your son as you describe him "is on the delicate side" and "never one to pick up the ball". What crazy world do you live in that you thought it would be great to sign him up for football?  That is 100% on you as the parents. Your child was interested in football yet you never thought to go get him a football and play catch in the backyard? [/quote]
