I am secure in the decisions we made to help our son. To brush this picture in broads strokes makes no sense and to attack from behind a keyboard shows cowardice.

Well I would be glad to confront any parent with a hold back son. But no one puts the ages out for anyone to see. So unless someone does a straw poll on the sidelines at a game we never all know for sure. I think most of us would really prefer that there was some kinda rule so you could not cheat. Because if you are on my sons team me calling you a punk to your face would only make for a long year.


You sound very tough. I am the parents of the boys on your son's team are thrilled to have you on the sidelines. More than holdbacks, it is idiot parents like yourself that is ruining the game. I am sure you are the guy with the red solo cup yelling on the sidelines. I feel for your son and anyone that has to put up with your behavior consistently.

Good try with the deflect. I am not the tough guy but you should man up and say when a kid is 7th grade or below he should play with the grade he should be in age wise. I am cool with when your holdback son plays with the 8th grade team when he is in 8th grade. And when the colleges start to look at 7th graders then you can play down then. But as of now you are a crappy person for letting your son play down. I agree the rules suck and should have a age cut off. But there is no law for cutting in line at a store but it still makes you a jerk for doing it.
