Dad coaches in every other town sport . f



You must not be familiar with the youth football program at John Jay, all Dad coaches and all their kids are QB or running back. Wait until those kids get to HS, they will be on the bench. The other kids get 4 minimum pLAYS Dads kid never leaves the field. And how has that turned out? Their teams are all horrible with kids leaving to go to other towns...the only good team is their 6th grade team where the Dads son is an athlete and can legitimately play QB. Program is imploding, many parents would be glad to pay more to get rid of Daddy ball. Soccer did it years ago.
