Well, dd’s team did not win. The other 2 teams they were up against in their division had no falls. Dd’s team had 2 small falls in small group stunts. But look how awesome my dd’s scale is in the pyramid.

But out of all the 23 teams in Level one from a Tiny team through to senior, they one the best stunt award, which means their stunt were the best and most imaginative. Not bad for these little small town girls with only 9 kids.

I’m not sure if I’ve said this about our school’s winter soccer team, we’re playing up a year this season because we have two boys with an older birth year, you’re allowed to play up in age, but not down. These two kids are good friends with T and a few others, so I wanted to make sure to include them this winter. Some of the kids on my team have never played soccer before, a few others play for the school, and then my son and 2 more also play select.

Our first 3 games went great, we won each of them. .
The past 3, including today, have been rough.

Today, we were losing 6-0 in the first half. Some boys started yelling at each other when one made a mistake, and my son was the worst of all.. I saw him yell at two different teammates on the field, and then their goal keeper.

I pulled him out of the game for the last 8 minutes of the first half, and he remained on the bench for the entire second half. He cried the entire ride home.
T has scored 9 of our 11 goals this season, we were shut out today, our goal differential is probably insurmountable now, and keeping him out probably had a hand in that.
I don’t care.


Right now as I’m typing this, he is writing a paper on what sportsmanship is, why it’s important, and what he feels like when someone yells at him.

I’m so disappointed in him. :(

He’s grounded from electronics, including tv, and he understands why and luckily didn’t try to argue it.
I love sports, I love winning, but I can’t stand to see bad sportsmanship. I will pull my kid out of sports, all sports, if I see him act like that again.
Someone pass the parenting handbook, please!

Yup, and they are all Millennial's standing in a circle and repeating over and over... "When they pay us enough to buy that new sports car we will start paying attention.;)

Fortunately, DWifey and myself are the parents of 3 millennials that don’t have that attitude at all...even our special needs DS has his head on straight regarding such...!!!!! :happy:

You did the right thing and I give you a like as a result.

Teaching your son to be a good sport is going to be a great life lesson to him as kid instead of never getting that message before he's an adult.
