It's youth flag football not the NFL draft. It was probably just so his son and his friends will be on the same team. Tell your son to stop hanging out with the nerds if you want a good team next year.
IN a day and age when parents are trying like hell to find leagues to get their kids familiar with competition and instill the value of winning AND losing, it's a slap in the face to see this bullshite take place.
Madisonville(Coquille Rec) is rampant with this bullshite at in Baseball/Basketball/Football.
A particular age group of football at Coquille last season had enough players for two teams. Instead of making two competitive teams they put every good player on one team and the rest on the other. My son being a new kid that no coach knew was on the 'other'. He played 4 years prior for the Pville Broncos and is a good player.
Hell, He ended up never coming off the field for his team that won ONE game.
Meanwhile, the other Madisonville team ran through the schedule and beat my son's team 42-0 on their way to 1st place in the championship.
The desire to win by these cocksmokin little league coaches is absurd and sad. It's usually one bad apple who runs everything and takes the first picks in these 'drafts'.

While your kid is playing flag football, my future major leaguer is playing fall travel ball.

There's no way that's how it actually happened. If it is, (can't believe I'm even typing this) you need to let the league office/organizer know. I mean...coach1 is simply going to pull the 11 best kids and leave scraps for the rest. That's now how friggin 8 year old rec flag football works.
That's exactly how ours worked last year. TO a T. To make two teams from the SAME rec complex.
This was 10-11 tackle ball. And yes. Enough parents complained that it won't happen again to that degree in football at least.
Fortunately my son is off to play for middle school now.

My son is not stellar athlete at anything but he is playing middle school football(at practice now) and playing Fall Baseball. 5 days a week football ends at 430 and 2 days a week baseball from 530-7. frickkkk that shite.
These kids are crazy today.

swim season
That's why your kid wasn't picked in the first 11.
I'm not hating, I was a hell of a swimmer.

Our flag football league has a skills assessment every year for each age group. They go out one day a couple weeks before the season and are timed/evaluated doing different drills. Supposedly the league officials take those anonymous evaluations (the evaluations are done by numbers, no names) and distributes them as evenly as possible across the teams (i.e., take the 6 best and put them on the 6 different teams, take the next 6 best and put them on the 6 different teams, etc. etc.). It actually seems to work out well. The teams usually have a good mix of good athletes, average kids, and nonathletic kids/kids who don't really care. For this age (my son is in the 5-7 league) it's perfect. Gives you even teams and takes the politics of "drafting" out of it.

Hes been playing flag at the YMCA for the past three years. He's one of the faster kids and he catches well.

Bro this is really important. It would be very upsetting if your 7 year old flag football team did not make the playoffs
