I don&#39;t believe in sports that are that competitive for kids not even in their teens.<br /><br />My daughter once went to a high school tennis lesson, and was told she wasn&#39;t good enough to take the lessons. Not good enough for lessons? Come on. We later found out that they were just recruiting people for the TEAM and using the lessons to find the good ones.Marilynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05305321832646412618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24547325.post-9113047733490999072009-06-29T16:11:23.380-05:002009-06-29T16:11:23.380-05:00I have often wondered how many opportunities my kids have missed out on because I refused to play the game.<br /><br />Then I sat back and realized, that if someone had to play a game, it wasn&#39;t really an opportunity.<br /><br />He&#39;ll be fine. Some life lessons just hurt a little more than others.The Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15157821003454766570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24547325.post-59304198058244376292009-06-28T10:17:58.878-05:002009-06-28T10:17:58.878-05:00I like the way your son thinks!<br />And yes, I have a lot of thoughts about the whole politics of sports and competition - especially at this young age.

I think it&#39;s hard to watch our kids grow up and find out about politics and such. It would be nice if there were no such thing, so we wouldn&#39;t have to rain on our babies parades. <br /><br />Sounds like you&#39;re doing an excellent job raising your son. I hope he finds a team where he feels like home. I hope he is able to find the fun in soccer again. Because, if it isn&#39;t fun, than what&#39;s the point?<br /><br />Awesome job Mom!!!Mee2http://www.blogger.com/profile/07157145739599230080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24547325.post-11743454145675241992009-06-27T13:49:12.460-05:002009-06-27T13:49:12.460-05:00Not just a good kid.<br /><br />A GREAT kid.s@bdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07158982874278500904noreply@blogger.com
