Here are my 2 cents... I coach my sons team for a couple of reasons... 1) so that some over zealous "Dad coach" does not abuse his ability (or lack there of) and that of his teammates to claim another 12u _____ (fill in the blank) championship 2) to try and prepare him to play in HS... I believe the main purpose of coaches at this level is to prepare them to play HS ball... If they are lucky enough they enough they may get to play at the next level (3% of all HS seniors get a chance)... The goal for our season... 1) play the best competition within a given amount of miles on the weekends we determine we are going to play. 2) I do not care about our record.. in March or April.. (not saying we do not want to win but we have kids playing basketball, its 25 degrees and we are not going to practice... 3) to put them in situations to learn and hopefully perform at that will allow them to be successful regardless who they play with in the future. Hope all of you the best this year... Its a lot like WWE out there.. we can all go have a beer... ride together to the games but when we step on the field its no holds barred (ladders, table and chair match). Lastly, we have 5 7th graders and 7 6th graders [/quote]
