Dean : ~ a ~ ' ~,~,~ G~.~~~... <br />~~~~ ~ <br />ThanK.you for Walunteering to coach in .the. North Metro <br />Junior Football League. Coaching .is often a thanKiess .job <br />with people who don't respect the coach's decisions ar . <br />realize all of the t-~ard worK involved in coaching. <br />i~lthough we may not agree with all of your coaching methods, <br />• ~.h+e do realise that it may be difficult to coach the ~+arious <br />age cornbinatians together with the varied sKill level of the <br />boys.. In our particular-case, our son is a 90-pound 3rd <br />grader, and unfai^tunately was too large to play with his owr~ <br />. 3rd grade friends. He was assigned to play with 3rd, ~1th, +~ <br />5th graders, many of wham had pia>~ed together for one season <br />and Knew the basics of the game. <br />lade attempted to switch Aaron to a less competetive team but <br />found it was not possible. Bather than .just let Aaron suit <br />and say no more, I was -encouraged by a number of parents and <br />ar+other coach to voice our dissatisfaction. One ver;v <br />understanding coach said, "Haw can you expect a newcomer to <br />learn and improve if he isn't given a fair chance to try? <br />These sports are far the satisfaction and en,ioyment of the <br />team members, and not for the coaches or parents." <br />Y'au seemed to have lost sight of that idea as The Patriots <br />played their Tuesday evening game against the Packers. It <br />was apparent that bJINNING was the foremost objective.-After <br />faithfully attending three weeKs of practice {with only one <br />,missed practice), we watched as Aaron sat an the bench <br />throughout a game that was apparently being played against <br />same tough rivals. I shouldn't have to call your attention <br />to league rules stipui-sting equal play for each and every. <br />• team member regardless of sKill level! <br />~~~ <br />
