Nah, make it all about the coach. Pitch a huge hissy fit and grab your kid and stomp off the first time he gets pinch hit for.

When I quit in middle school, I told my dad I didn't want to play anymore, and since he isn't a giant gaping vagina, he just called the coach and said I wouldn't be participating the following season.

My last concern would be what some losers who jerks off to their kids playing travel ball is saying about me.

And I would tell my kid if anyone of those douche fricks say anything to you, knock the frick out of him. You get a free pass just this one time to hit one of them even if they give you some kind of smirk.

The whole point of this dumb arse thread is to figure out when to make that call. My wife thinks we should tell him at State, if we qualify for regionals that’ll just be one more travel situation.

In your case as a coach, I really wouldn't care when you told me as long as you finish the season.

My daughter doesn't get to hardly play so she won't be missed.

I coach a travel team most of the year. It's always so predictable when the kid is soft that the dad is a beta as well. When dads quit on their son's behalf, yes that means lost money, but that means they are usually doing me a favor. But we typically make fun of both the kid and dad with the team and there's been a few instances of my players getting in trouble for bullying the kid in school or whatever.



Wow...And what's more scary is that you walk among us.

You talking about club soccer?

No one gives a shite about your kid so just dont go to tryouts.

Unfortunately, if you have seen his previous posts, he's not kidding. The thread could be about cereal and he would interject how awesome his u12 soccer player is.

And this makes you feel good about what you're teaching these young men?

I hope your dad doesn't feel like a loser for missing out on all of the Internet attention.

Uh, yes...by a huge margin. Baseball players would die out there. It’s a contact sport with a WAY more dynamic range of required athleticism. At this age at least.

The question was when, then the damn thread gets washingmachined by embers imaginable spinoff. It’s left the first page 10 damn times, then some moron bumps saying some tired old dumb shite.

My son made the decision about 3 years ago at the World Series thing in Orange Beach and he told the coach for me. Told the coach tat he really did not like baseball...after hitting a homerun and that he thought football was a better sport, plus he did not see the wisdom of going to the beach but never getting to really spend time at the beach or the pool.

It's funny, 2 of the kids on his travel ball team who stayed through 8th grade did not make the high school baseball team and at least one of their fathers was touting his kid as the next great pitcher.....he was not bad in the travel ball setting
