Well, both boys have had several football practices this week. The oldest is getting back into the groove. The youngest is playing tackle football for the very first time. We got an email from the head coach after the 2nd practice of my DS's life and the coach was saying he's not sure tackle football is the sport for my youngest.
That's heartbreaking to hear when your child has expressed an interest in a sport and the parents have invested mucho dollars for the equipment. My hubby went to practice w/ the youngest DS tonight. Other dads commiserated w/ my hubby and said there were quite a few kids who 'played' like my DS is, but that was last year.
We are moving forward. At least we are in a league where the players are guaranteed playing time. If my son wants to quit, that's fine. To have a coach watch him practice twice and then say he doesn't think my kid is good enough to avoid injury smarts just a bit.

Been there with a different sport. I hate team sports. We really did a lot better when we went to individual sports.
Sounds like you might have a coach that just wants to win. My oldest played on a team like that for years. We always won the big awards. I hated it when we would play a team and run the score up to something ridiculous just because our coach knew he could. It was all about him and not sportsmanship.
I hope it works out in the best interest of your child.
