Are you in fighting shape? This sounds like an opportunity to teach your son that sometimes violence IS the answer.

I got stuck with 69 in 9th grade. I got the good jokes from friends.

And don't be afraid to use a helmet. Really get in there to prove your point.

Football isn't for sissies. If your kid ever gets to pick a number, it will be EARNED. Oh and if he's never played before, then get ready to watch him just stand on the sideline and never play. You could probably go ahead and tell the coach in your meeting that you EXPECT playing time once he gets that #18.

FWIW, I have a sister in law who's kid just started playing middle school ball who took to facebook to complain about a kid 'body slamming' her son. A kid who is TWICE HIS SIZE! That's easy to do since my nephew is tiny, but quick. So running back. Body Slamming=tackling. Bad mouthed the good playing kid as someone trying to hurt her baby. LOL Some families or moms just aren't cut out for football or discipline. You have to earn respect and privileges on the football field. Outside of that, you're just a punk. Making the team means nothing except you get a uniform. Your kid will have to prove himself before he makes the actual team.

Have your son step up and create a new legacy with whatever number your coach assigns him.

I shook hands with our oldest son's coach when he dropped by our booster club half BBQed chicken fund raising sale to pick up the four chicken halves the booster club gave him each year and wished the team good luck for the season. This was our son's sophomore year and first year playing varsity ball. I repeated this "time with the coach" the next two years. These were the only contact I ever made with the man. The team wone the state playoff our son's senior year with him playing every minute of every game at left tackle, and I never talked to the coach other than at the chicken cook in September of that year, when I shook his hand and wished him and the team good luck.

When I played many years earlier, the only time I can ever remember talking man to man with our head coach was when he told me I needed to run more wind sprints because I had not thrown up yet.

What if he was well behaved, had good grades, and volunteered in his church or community?

Because those are the things that would make me more proud of my son than making a football team.

Do you still tuck your son into bed at night? If he wants the number he should talk to the coach. Not you.

My son worked his tail off to make the 9th grade football team this year.

I’m pretty sure nobody “makes” the team anymore. They are on the team if they sign up and come to workouts…. Especially in 9th grade!

A freshman doesn't get a choice what his number will be. They get what's left over. If there is anything to be done let your son handle it. Or don't, is the best thing. It's awfully early in your son's high school career to get the rep as "That Dad." There's probably other parents who would love for their freshman kids to be on the team.

My daughter (no pics mofos) didn't get the number she wanted in hs basketball. She was so small, she got the number of the uniform that fit her. Over her high school career she made it her own and when she left there were girls who wanted that number because it was hers.

Tell you son to own his number and make it one to remember.

Yeah, I’d fight for what’s right on this one. All the way to the Supreme Court if you have to. Stay strong for your boy. #free#18
