This is how I feel about HS JV and Varsity coaches giving attitude to those players that play on a team outside the schools summer team...........this is called BULLYING and as far as we know, there is ZERO tolerance for that kind of behavior in a school environment........lead by example coaches....why should a player be punished for building character, skills and sportsmanship!! They are team players, and exemplify committment, dedication, perserverance and integrity.... all the traits a school coach should want.....Shame on these coaches be a coach and a leader and stop acting as if you are in high school yourself!!
Lets turn that around... is it any less of a bullying tactic if the Turtles organizers "strongly suggested, offered or otherwise encouraged" an alternative to the boys intended to bypass their school seasons? What would be the outcome be for a boy who decided to play with his school and bypass the Turtles "school season alternative"? We all know the answer to that. Bullying pressure comes from the clubs too!
