The coaches/parents like this are the exact type of people three year letterman is parodying on twitter. It's fricking 8 year olds, no one gives a shite about the "championship"

The first sign of a dumbass is claiming you're not a dumbass, while posting about how 8-10 year olds should care about winning a BB game.

Maybe. Maybe not. The world will never know. But how do I sound like an entitled wuss when I said the championship doesn't matter. Again, a sign of a dumbass.

Bet you think everyone should get a 1st place trophy too.
Never said that. I said losing the game wasn't as important as following the same rules that applied to every other game up to that point, and if they lost, they lost. Who cares?
What if little timmy, the suckiest player on the team, just happened to get the game winning shot in the semi-final game during his required playing time. Now he doesn't play in the championship because the coach thinks he sucks?
If you play in a league that requires everyone to play for 2 quarters, then everyone plays 2 quarters. Don't like it, go do travel ball with all the other idiots that invest 100k in ball instead of a college fund.
But a coach who doesn't play the kids the required 2 quarters in a league like that, just because he wants to win a "championship" is a scumbag.
Any questions.

Agreed, in every game but the championship. Again, ask the kids, would they rather win or all play some and lose?

I have repeatedly said that kids need playing time and that through the entire season a coach of a rec league should split time as evenly as possible. The OP is complaining to the coach because of 12 minutes difference. 12.
His son got to play an entire quarter of the game.
The coach did nothing wrong and the OP is 100% in the wrong by not teaching his son to use this as motivation and to not put the team above himself.

its a competitive league
Listening to you it’s your fault for putting your child in a competitive league. You admitted that your kid is not one of the better ones so maybe you should have put your kid in a league that plays for fun and gives participation trophies to everyone even if they loose every game
Posted on 5/23/22 at 3:59 pm to bamaphan13
You're getting destroyed here, but this is the entire purpose of rec leagues. They are there for the kids who aren't very good but would like to engage in sports. While I don't necessarily disagree with the coach being this is a championship game, I do think you have a valid gripe. Sounds like this coach needs to be volunteering for competitive leagues, since that's his approach.
The issue here that I have is with all the false internet bravado of the OT bashing your kid for not being good. Well, OP stated up from that his kid is not good, which is why he is part of a recreational sports league. 80% of you on here acting tough on the interwebs most likely have shitty kids who are just as bad.

Once you get to the championship in a tournament or a league all bets are off. You play to win. Simple as that. He could of not played ur kid at all but he did.

Regardless of whether the posters who responded to the OP have athletic kids or not, the OP is in the wrong. The coach has been more than fair all year. He had a single imbalanced game. He even made sure that all the kids played a full quarter plus.
The op should have used it as a teaching moment, but didn’t.

If it’s a competitive league, I don’t see a problem with the coach trying to win the championship. If there’s mandated playing time, then clearly he’s in the wrong.

quote:8-10 year olds not only do care, but they should care about winning. Developing a competitive spirit and learning that things are earned and not handed out are a couple of quality lessons learned through sport. It’s certainly a sliding scale as the kids age. At 8-10, everyone should play and winning should be a secondary consideration to development, but it should still be a consideration.
while posting about how 8-10 year olds should care about winning a BB game.
As long as the coach played everyone and focused mostly on development throughout the season, I don’t see a big deal giving the better players some extra playing time at the end of the championship game.
As a parent, I would use this as a teaching opportunity and possibly motivation for my kid rather than being upset at the coach who volunteered a ton of his free time to help my kid all season.
ETA: him crying could be a sign that he enjoys the sport and not playing meant something to him. Maybe mom and dad need to help him develop through working with him, getting him in some day camps, etc.

I see you added a hypothetical to this post as it was already non-sensical.
Well, hate to break it to you but that was more of the coaches philosophy as it wasn’t a rule.
Yeah, what if it’s not a rule, and the coach still goes out of his way to play every player evenly, and still plays every player in the league final, but just played the best kids 6 minutes more.
Is he still a scumbag?

Why? Most home school kids are surprisingly competitive
Not from what I've experienced. Maybe at a low level. So, even if he is, but you've admitted he isn't, if the kid is crying over playing time, he's gonna have it rough later on in whatever fields you think he's going to compete in/on. Peer pressure is not always nice. Maybe you need to step up and get him better prepared for instances where he isn't the best. Every kid needs to learn how to "fail" (for lack of a better word).

Maybe. Maybe not.
But one of my friends growing up was an all sport everything. His dad made him throw 100 pitches a night and shite like that.
Long story short, he was never going to be a professional ball player. He was the backup QB at a college to a guy that got drafted. He didn't make it. It ruined his life and his relationship with his family when they couldn't let it go.
I will never take sports seriously. They are entertainment. Sure, you can learn a lot from them, but winning a 8-10 yo champ game isn't a huge accomplishment.
Now go jack off to your trohpy bitch.
