Coaching and Youth Sports

Sounds like non school related youth football is a go as soon as next TN Pledge update is released.

 

Can’t logically say no while everyone else is playing

 

I'm still not believing it 100% until I yell at the first kid, but it sounds a lot more likely than I thought it would be a week ago.

 

No one thinks we’re playing but we’re going through the motions.


3 games seems to be the average guess on how many we play.

my kids old dance class had to close with a week of trying to reopen

 

Daughter starts dance..................next week I think.

Heck, might be today for all I know.

 

Her dance school had three cases in a week

 

Whitehaven not playing games until Sept 18.

 

Again i dont see why they just dont push it back every year. Football isnt supposed to be played in 110 index. Heat probably kills more players than the game itself.

 

cant have 1-9 teams making the playoffs for that sweet TSSAA money if we shorten the playoffs and season

 

Coached first baseball game of 2020 tonight. Felt so dang good to be out there.

 

Jealous. Enjoy every minute. Hoping more people on fields and courts and in the stands gained some perspective the last few months.

 

First day back at football.

Damn the kids were excited to be back and was so damn happy to be running around with their friends.

 

53 i sent my 8th grader to tryouts/conditioning last 2 afternoons. Told him he needed a work out and to compete a little and to see some buddies, but to only play if he really wanted to.
Coach grabbed me in the lot and wants him to play slot and run about 3 routes for when the safeties come up and they will. 8th grade RB is expected to be a 4 or 5*, 6'5 240 wr by the time he grows and has been in HS workouts vs dbs, so he gets the ball, and looks like Eric Dickerson. Walker Merrills little brother on the team too and he can fly. We are going to have a final talk tonight about it. Now Jake is thinking hes going to get slants in open space like 7 v 7, where i see a 180 lb lb breaking his 85 lb ass in half.

 

If he wants to play, let him play.

there’s not even too many 180 pound corners in high school. He’ll be fine

 

Yup.

If my kid can play receiver and safety and not be killed, anyone can.

 

I tried my damndest to get to 180 in high school, didn't do it until after my senior year of football

 

I was 155 when I got married at 23. And 6'4".

 

Jesus. You probably looked like a mini Shawn Bradley.

 

Yep, I was 6'2" and about 140 lbs. when I left the Peace Corps at 26. It's amazing how having diarrhea 7-8 times in a year will keep the pounds off.

 

I just couldn't gain weight. No a problem now, as I topped out at 220 two years ago.
