How do you manage grades when kid plays for 3 teams?
Posted on 8/3/17 at 8:47 pm

So, after 2 years of pee-wee ball and 2 years of JR High ball my kid is finally entering HS.
Coaches told him today he is starting for Freshman team, starting for JV team, and dressing out as 2nd team for Varsity.
3 games a week. *sigh*... my immediate thought is how does a kid handle this load and academics?
I know I'm not the only one in this boat. Any advice on how you guys have handled your kid pulling "extra duty" and keeping grades up?

He's definitely gonna play college ball, as long as he doesn't blow out his knee...

So your kid is gonna play in 2 games, possibly 3 per week? I know this was supposed to be a subtle brag thread, buuuut turns out, it's just a "you're an idiot parent" thread

How much homework factors into his grades? You can pass HS with Cs by doing just about absolutely nothing.

I think this is a not so subtle brag. Glad Michael Sam paved the way, baw.

I'm still trying to figure out how to juggle life with three fantasy football teams.

For your son's sake, I hope he's the kicker. Otherwise I can't think of a reason to play two, possibly three consecutive nights of football.

You do know you control whether he plays or not right?

Homework before the games and homework after the games.
I don't see what the problem is.

Your kid is gonna throw that football over the mountains.

Easy. Kid knows that if his grades slip that he has to give up one of the teams.
Make sure coaches understand the same

If he's entering HS he probably needs to prioritize grades over sports unless he's good enough to get a free ride to college

Might be basketball. Grades doomed

You got that right. Luckily one of mine is now an online draft that takes days.

Who cares about homework when he can fingerblast the co-captain of the cheerleading squad?
Posted on 8/3/17 at 8:56 pm to Barrister
as far as I am concerned, managing grades is a given...the only question is how much ball he can play...

Let the kid figure it out.

First of all, if he's good enough to be on the 2 deep on varsity & is starting JV, wtf is he doing on the freshman squad at all?
