[quote=Anonymous]At this age, many kids goof around, which doesn’t make it any less frustrating as a parent. Or a coach. From a child’s perspective, it can be hard to focus after being in school all day/week, and they might view sports practice as an opportunity to be silly and let loose with fewer consequences, rather than a time to buckle down and pay attention. They are used to associating paying attention with sitting still in class. Running around and being physically active is associated with playtime, so they may not get it yet that sports practice is a time to focus with their brains and their bodies. Even at age 12, my son occasionally complains about a couple of kids who don’t listen to the coach and play around. [/quote]
