My son is playing football this year. This would be his first year and undoubtedly is only year. One day, he is up and loving football, the next he doesn't want to go to practice and hates it. The average height of the 6th grade 11 or 12 year old players is about 5' 2" or 5'3" and weigh about 120 Lbs. My son is 4' 10" and weighs 90 Lbs. Yes, he is one of the smallest on the team. He is one of the fastest runners on the team and the first week of practice he never dropped a ball thrown to him. Naturally, the coaches agreed to make him an offensive lineman because he is so bleeding large. /smh

As a result his frustration is difficult to contend with at times. With eight adult coaches, their eight sons get to play all the important roles on a football team.

I played both baseball and soccer (football for you Europeans) as a kid. I ended up quitting soccer because my coach would rarely let me have a chance on the field, but when I stopped showing up to practice he had the gall to ask my mother why I wasn't showing up. Why practice for something you aren't even allowed to play?
