I love youth football. A glimmer of potential often offset by inexperience and unawareness. My son's team is playing this evening and the linemen are confused which side one of the defensive formations is supposed to shift. Their coach is about to have a coronary yelling LEFT SIDE! over on the sidelines. We're going to get our butts kicked in this game, but the entertainment value is pretty good.

coached youth baseball for years - I would tell the kids over and over to HUSTLE - last game of the year and we break the huddle and a kid comes back and says "Coach what does hustle mean?" I retired after that -

I coached, and I use that word very loosely, 6 year olds in soccer once. It was like herding cats.Comment

Just watched my son's 11/12 yr old team get beat 26-0 in their first game of the season, and his first season...playing rt guard. The coach was bound and determined to run up the middle no matter how heavy the other team stacked the box...we could move the line a bit, but a couple of badly timed offsides penalties killed our best drives.
Our son said it was fun though, and it actually was fun to watch...better luck next game!Comment
