I cannot wait to watch my son play sports. Right now its basically just throwing a ball and running but he gets better at that every day. He did do something that amazed me yesterday. Whilst I was sitting on the couch he was throwing a ball into his little bball goal. Well he got ballsy and got up on his chair from a good 7 feet and made it not once, but twice! Mind you he is 2 so I was quite impressed.

newcoach , my son has played flag football and baseball for a couple of years and this is his first year doing basketball. It's a great feeling when he asks to go outside and shoot hoops, throw a ball, or whatever. What is your opinion on pop warner vs. flag football? My grand plan is to start him in soccer here in a few years but I'm not sold on little league football over flag at least until hes a little older. I just wonder about joe dirt teaching him how to tackle.

It's not the end all, be all, but it's better than nothing. Our peewee coaches are also stay in contact with me on how to do things, etc. It's been good. I have heard horror stories about other leagues/places though.

I'm scared at how my daughter is going to be as she gets older. She is 2 already going on 22. Last night we were doing our bedtime routine, potty, brush teeth, read 3 books, prayers, hugs and goodnight. Last night she picked out a 4th book and I was cool with that, then when those were finished, she grabbed her story bible, so I said get in bed and I'll read one story. After that was finished she grabbed another book from under her pillow and asked her momma to read it. I said no, fearing we were going to get into an ongoing 'one more' scenario that would last all night. My wife said "It's ok we will read this last one."
That's when it happened, my daughter sat up, put her hand over my mouth and said, "Yeah Dadda, it's fine!"
FML I stand zero chance at winning from here on out.

Kids are awesome.
Haven't gotten to deep in the Little League. You guys that do are amazing. The time it takes is crazy. My daughter did the little kid soccer for a year. She enjoyed it. But, wasn't to enthused about doing it again. She likes the idea of playing sports, especially since dad is a coach, but she doesn't actually like playing them. So we'll see. She'll be a middle schooler next year and see if anything strikes her fancy. Saturday I get to go see what this 'Botball' is all about.
My son loves being active. He'd do anything I signed him up for. He's in his second year of wrestling. He's terrible. Gets his butt whipped right and left. He's kinda tall which puts his weight up a little and his coordination hasn't come in. So it's a little bit of a disaster. He loves practice though. They get after it! He's getting everything I want for him to get though. He's getting coached hard by adult male figures that aren't his dad, 2 hour butt kicking 3 times a week, and all the other intangibles that wrestling provides. He's also getting to wrestle at a place that has a rich wrestling tradition, which is kinda cool.
You guys that coach little league stuff are saints too. I couldn't do it. That's why wrestling has been great. I've never wrestled and I don't know anything about. So this is his deal, I'm hands off. Just want him to work hard and be coachable.

I know one thing. My son is literally all over the place. Not hyper but literally wont sit down for long before he is up wanting to wrestle, throw a ball, run around, play on the bike, etc. He will keep us on our toes no doubt.
I wish wrestling was bigger down here in tejas, I do think he will need some sort of martial art when he gets just a little older as he also seems to have a temper and doesnt take much crap. We will need to work that energy off of him.
He is also very smart.....which I think worries more than anything because he knows how to use it for evil doings. He may very well be a scientist or the greatest bank robber of all time lol.

Club volleyball is awesome. It's especially awesome when you get blessed enough to have a group of kids who genuinely enjoy playing the game with each other.

I just wonder about joe dirt teaching him how to tackle. I won't let him play tackle unless it's a league like TCB talks about (coaches are certified, work closely with the high school, etc). Where I'm at it's a bunch of broke d!cks trying to relive their glory days. Our junior highs have a massive problem on both sides of town when it comes to 7th grade parents because of this. Yep, we are pretty lucky here. In fact, one of our coaches was the OL coach on both State Championships in '09 and '10, and we still run the same offense. 7th grade usually hits the ground running. It's awesome! Congrats on your daughter's bunch also, bob. Good stuff!

The wife and I have been attempting to have another sh!thead for a year now. First one I'm pretty sure I just looked at her and she said she was pregnant. I am a fan of this style as I am a giant fan of practicing.

Prayers to Dipster when you can. He's stove up with a liberal knee infection. Knee has been drained and infection is being treated liberally with antibiotics. Carry on

More prayers for the dipster. He's getting the knee cleaned out again this morning. Evidently the infection was quite liberal.
