We have gone through two full weeks of football now and have had two people quit. Not a good percentage if you ask me. I can not even fathom letting any of my kids quit anything after the season has started. If they don't want to participate before the season begins that is okay with me. I guess that is just the way I was raised.
As of now we have a few kids who need to lose weight to stay on our team. We play in a league where weight and age matter. I hope that we do not lose any of these kids. I think all of them will make weight, but it is weird having kids lose weight to play. I don't even have my wrestlers lose weight, and that is half of what wrestling is as a sport.
This whole week we as coaches have been deciding who deserves a chance to play where. This can be and usually is a hard week for the parents. They start to see where their kids go and what they will be doing. Tonight was the first night we really separated them and ran them through their jobs. I made sure to tell my defense that this is what they have earned so far, but it is all subject to change. I want them to understand that this is always a try-out. I make sure to watch everything and they will learn that soon enough. Hey if I sat my own kid last year no one is safe!
