[QUOTE="Patman, post: 276322, member: 16962"] Why sign your kid up for a sport KNOWING that practice is during the week and games are on Saturday with no intention of getting them to practice either on time or at all?! It's no big secret that their practice will start somewhere between 5:00 and 5:30pm so if you have a 45 minute drive WHY commit?! Why force your kid to do something like this they obviously don't want to do? What am I talking about? My son is playing soccer, he is a fairly good player but only because he puts in th effort to practice at home and at formal practice. (Heck he just started last fall and the coach is calling him his star player.) We get there a few minutes early and stick around until everyone is gone just to get a little extra time in. On the other side of the coin we have kids that show up 15-30 minutes late for a 60 minute practice! Kids that refuse to tie their $100 cleats they HAD to have, kids that don't want to run, kids that don't pay attention to the coach, etc... As an added bonus almost no parents stick around for practice, they go have coffee, shop, whatever and then return (late) to pick their kid up thinking it's a babysitting service!!! These are also the same people that will be late for the game and then complain when the team does poorly. They will also gripe that "Junior" isn't getting to play long enough. Well "Junior" does't like to practice, run, or do what he's instructed to do so "Junior" SUCKS and drags the kids that want to play down with his loser attitude! I can hardly imagine how hacked off the team coach gets because I'm just a parent and will help if he needs it. :mad: Yeah it's all about having fun but it's NOT about just your kid. [/QUOTE]
