[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone whose sibling faced a similar loss of sports community at the same time as a major family tragedy, I think it is worth it for you to be aware of this kid's need for community during times like this. It isn't about the sport, it is about the kid having community with consistent eyes on him and keeping him busy. It could literally save his life.[/quote] I am so glad to see people recognize this. One of my kids had a number of attempts and spent years in and out of mental hospitals and the toll on the other kids is awful. And there are many other situations that occur that would make a community really valuable for a kid. One of the things I learned when mine were in HS is that even if you don't make a team as a player, there is room and value in kids who want to be there. I helped a number of coaches figure out how to use kids that didn't make the team in valuable ways so that they could have a meaningful role. [/quote]
