Hello,
Just came across your website. I love the information and it falls in similar lines of thinking with my own beliefs.
After weekend of frustrating tournaments with my young son I am came looking for some information. My boy is in 3rd grade. He is playing on a competitive boys team in our town. This isn't a try out team but they are playing competitive tournaments. My son has a decent level of skill but is not an aggressive kid by nature at this point. The coaches are nice guys (2 of the 3 played college ball) but at times they worry more about winning than developing kids.
Here is my struggle. I am torn from having my son continue to play on this team or starting another team that focuses on player development and fun. The big struggle for me is the better players and my sons best friends play on this team. I have asked him several times if he would prefer to play on the team or have me coach a team that may not be as good but he would learn more and have fun. He wants to play with his friends.
I played college football so I am not a basketball expert but I did play through varsity level in High School and I still play 2-3 times a week. I feel I could get more out of the kids. I have offered to help the current coaches but they are really set in there ways.
I also haven't put my concerns to the coaches. I coach other sports and I understand the pressures they get from all the parents and it can be a pain when multiple parents are whining. I don' want to be that guy.
Please help
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
