[quote name="ThaGhost(P.A. ALL DAY)" post="1269176" timestamp="1347551133"] From a parental stand point my kids aren't ALLOWED to quit. PERIOD! I firmly believe in a such thing as COMMITMENT! No its another thing to say I'm not going to play next year, [b]but to just quit (for whatever reason) is unacceptable.[/b] My step-son played his 7th grade year and midway through the season he started talking about quitting. I told him "if you quit then I'm going to take your phone for the rest of football season" needless to say I didn't have to take it. I said /did this because I felt/feel that if your team (that you made a commitment to, and they were/are depending on you) has to lose something, then he was going to see how they felt and lose something as well. Its not always about wining and losing, sometimes its about life lessons like manhood, character, responsibility etc. [/quote] Totally disagree with such a blanket statement......There are some reasons that I would say would be ok to quit.......an argument with a coach would NOT be one...........

Believe me i do not have a voice after a football/baseball game. I have coached 5-6 years in the past and at that age they respond better to praise verses yelling and telling them what they have done wrong. As they advance to the next level (PeeWee/Jr/Sr) and they know more about the game then you step it up a notch. Just saying, I could see the look on the kids faces when the coach was yelling. They really did not know what they were doing wrong, I my opinion it confused them more because they kept making same mistakes. [/quote] Dude...I was being [b]facetious[/b]...

[quote name="SmashMouth" post="1261971" timestamp="1346953004"] I'm with Tragic on this one. It's a nice facility and costs of everything eventually increase. It's a business that has a responsibility to be able to keep its costs down and increase revenue whenever possible; However, there is a pretty cool ball park in Lumberton called Marauder Baseball Club that is an option as well...really nice private facility. [/quote] Love that park....well maintained.......... My Son is fortunate enough to be able to practice on that field.

I said you got beat today. Anyway, how do I go back and look at all my posts. I want to go back and read what you quoted, If I was disrespectful I will come and admit it. [/quote] I don't think it was that disrespectful.  I was just saying people are going to get on here and talk smack.  I usually try to keep mine to a minimum and just talk about facts.  Others like to brag and talk "smack" and thats perfectly ok by the rules of this forum. There are mod's that will take care of any rule breakers. As for your question......go to your profile, then under your icon, look for "show post"....click that and you will find all your post.
