Soccer Draft
OMG is all I can say, I can not believe how ridiculous some coaches are when it comes to drafting 9 and 10 year old kids. We had to do a second draft because another coach had way more kids then the rest of us mostly me. So we go through the nine year old girls, then on to the ten year old girls, then on to the 9 year old boys. Okay so by this point during the second draft things were going okay. Then we get to the ten year old boys. This other team decides to hide the fact they have about five ten year old boys while I sat there with only one ten year old boy. I walked away from draft with seven kids while the other teams had 9 or 10. How is it you become the third draw in the draft and end up with only 7 kids? So I start to argue the fact and I am thrown under the carpet. The registrar lady had the nerve to tell me I should have stopped it before the President of the league left. Uh Hello I tried to stop it but I was thrown under the carpet. So I came home pissed off of course. But here is the stickler, during the draft they let other peoples kids in there while coaches were discussing kids, they let spouses in there with the coaches. Then adults were making negative remarks about some players so of course these kids that were there heard these remarks. Okay kids are cruel they are going to relay these things to the kids. I can't believe they allowed that crap. I can't believe how political it was with players. Like ten year olds are gonna make it to the World Cup! This is a learning rec league. I am so miffed at how dumb it all is I almost chose to not coach. When did it become about winning and not about the kids having fun! I am really re thinking this rec league sports thing! If it wasn't for the kids wanting to play I wouldn't even go through this. Is it this way everywere, or is it just small town sematics!

It's so sad that they take all the fun out of a "game" for kids. It's just a game! They are just kids! sheesh! (off my soapbox now) ;)
I thought sport for kids was supposed to be fun... When did that change? I guess I am the last to get the memo!
