Terry Vallaire Watching some Nederland film with the coaches. This should be a definite first round win.. Just copied it straight from Twitter. Don't know who he is, but he might have just made a BIG mistake..

LOL!! That being said, it definitely happened, saw it myself.

One of the players from GCM tweeted that they were watching film of Nederland and "this should be an easy win". The Dogs got ahold of it and now have some nice billboard material to fire them up as if they weren't pumped enough already!!

This Dog will be there repping 20-4A!!!!! GO PIRATES!!!

You were right MG it was only 7, my apologies. As far as the language goes, if you think he was the only kid that used bad language, you weren't listening. Building character lasted a whole 4 games before it was decided he was too much trouble. It was my fault for thinking trying to get some opinions on the matter somehow would get turned around and my son is a demon child that can't be controlled by a grown man. If he was that much trouble, how come no one ever came to me and said anything? Its been stated several times on this thread that I should have gone to the coach. What about the coach coming to me? We have since remedied the problem and you won't have to deal with devil anymore. But what about the next kid who's too much trouble?

I knew that when I started it, but also knew that I would get some honest feedback. All opinions were appreciated and I am going to use them to turn this situation into a positive one.

Thanks for the honest opinions. I didn't hold him out because I was angry, I held him out because they didn't need him until we were behind and wanted him to bail them out. I agree with the assessment of his attitude, but I don't have that issue with him at home. I am not able to be there with him at practices, so not sure what happens there. I have coached kids with agressive behavior before and would like to think that I did everything I could to help them. I would never try to sweep it under the rug. The defensive coach did a great job and got the most out of him, so why couldn't the offensive coach? That's my point and I will leave it at that.

Everyone is entitled to there opinion...

He's a very aggresive kid who hates to lose. He does have an attitude, but lots of kids do in every sport. I expected his coaches to maybe sit him or work with him, but that didn't happen. He's not perfect, but to just ignore the problem isn't acceptable to me. He needed a positive role model to work him thru it and didn't get that.

Thats not the point westend. Yea its disappointing that he didn't make the team, but the point is he was basically pushed aside so they wouldn't have to deal with it. I've coached youth sports for 15+ years and would NEVER do such a thing.

He's played football and baseball since he was 5 and never had anything like this happen.

We've already made the move Bubba! I tried to help where I could, but didn't have the time to coach. I don't know that it would have made much of a difference. Just really disappointed and hope that it doesn't happen to any one else.

My son played in Junior this year and I thought it was going to be another fun year. Let me start by saying he was the qb of a PeeWee team that won the Super Bowl and played qb and rb as a 9yr old last and helped a team that didn't win a game the year before make the playoffs. This year, as a 10, we expected big things from him and the team. We found out early on that the "coach" didn't want him to play qb and that he would get touches at rb. I thought that was strange, but didn't say anything. We started off the season with a record of 3-1 and my son scored 10 out of 15 tds with limited touches on offense. We then played a powerhouse team and lost by 40+ points. The "coach" got mad because he said my son quit on his team. Instead of "coaching" him and making him a better player, he decided my son wasn't going to play offense anymore. Any one else see a problem with this? It gets better. My son wasn't allowed to play offense the final 4 games of the season UNTIL the final game when we were losing by 6 with just over a minute to play. They called him in to play qb and I told the "coach" that my son didn't play offense. Was I wrong? Well the final straw was when I found out that he didn't make the allstar team because we only had a couple of chances. I know he's my kid and I might be a bit biased, but he was far and away the best player on our team and I feel like instead of coaching my boy the "coaches" decided that they would rather just not deal with him because of his attitude. I thought that as a coach you were supposed to help mold young boys into not only athletes, but better people. If you think I am just whining, maybe you're right, but if it happened to your child, you would feel the same way.

I agree with the above mentioned players, but I've noticed some kids this year that stood out that weren't on winning teams. I can't remember all there names or numbers, but just thought that they should recieve some recognition as well!! Good luck the rest of the way guys!!

PN-G Grey 28 BC-W 6. BC scored their first TD, it awesome to see the excitement from those kids! #2 for Grey had a great game as he returned the opening kickoff and had an interception return for a TD.
