It shouldn't be about who gets to "run the ball" Way to much emphasis on this and winning. Let these kids play, nuture, support and encourage them. Let them develop and learn the game. Amazing how politics have intruded into youth sports. Even parents who are interested solely in a healthy experience for their kids can find themselves navigating a system where the philosophy is shifting away from making sure all kids get to play and toward developing only the most talented youngsters. One concern that all youth sports experts share is research that shows 70 percent of kids drop out of sports by 13 -- and the primary reason is pressure exerted by adults. That age is about when kids begin to face the influences of drugs and alcohol. |
