[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5yr old daughter just played in a game yesterday where the final score was 28 to 2 and ONE girl scored 26 points. The ref was telling the girl to pass the ball when she came up and every time she went up, never looked at another kid and there the bll up there.  T[b]he 2 type-A parents that are "coaches" [/b]kept her in and cheered her on.

It was pathetic.  So I am completely against ball hogging on a TEAM sport, especially for YOUTH TEAM sports.  [/quote]

[b]5 yos shouldnt even be playing games[/b], let along keeping scores. This is not a league you want to be in.

agreed. which league is this?[/quote]

It is county league for K and 1st grade. They play half court with 8ft rims.  The refs are awesome and let them do anything (travel, double dribble etc..)  The concept is just learning to dribble, play defense, go back and forth and try to shoot.   They don't keep score but our coaches sure do  :roll:

My 13yr old started in K too.  5yrs old.  It was a great fun team experience.  It is just the coaches we got stuck with and their competitive nature.    [/quote]
