He’s only 4
My kids each have 6 yrs between them so I have all ages and have been through sports for years now. My only son is now 4 and is playing flag football for the first time. Let me tell you, its a whole new thing!!! My 17 yr old daughter has played softaball since 4 and when she hit about 7 is when it got cutthroat and competitive….oh no not with football, we had practice the other night and after every play, there was one father who tell his son all this technical stuff and how not to run to the corner and i looked at another mother like WTF!!! They are 4….My son loves to go to practice because the coach lets them pee on a pole outside!!! My kids have always excelled at sports and pretty much all they did, but i have never been one of these crazy moms. The worst was my oldest daughter won every beauty pageant she ever entered and one time we did a national pageant as the winner of georgia and had to go to disney world for a week. it was the last time we ever did it…..she was 9 and you should have heard these mother’s trashing the little girl who won photogenic….she was 9!!!! ok rant over :0)

Yep, the wonderful world of boy’s sports. My oldest has played various sports since he was 4, and I got so sick of the abusive coaches, that I became a coach in an effort to provide a positive influence in that abysmal world. You wouldn’t believe some of the crap I’ve had to put up with regarding the parents too.
It’s mostly just parents who didn’t excel athletically themselves so they are trying to live vicariously through their children.

I agree with boosh..the parents want to live through there kids and sometimes take all the fun out of it. Peeing on the pole is part of that fun…hey they’re kids.

it really is cute to see all these little bottoms as they line up to pee on the pole. my boy knows how to do it without his pants being around his ankles….some of the others…not so much!!
