I liked this article. I stress playing all of the school sports, plus band, etc. to all of my students.
Thoughts from the Coach: Where did the athletes go
Thoughts from the Coach: Where did the athletes go
Well my dd has always played basketball and softball, with softball as her main love.We where already told that if my dd does'nt come to the summer basketball clinics at here soon to be junior high , she can forget about basketball. I said her TB team comes first and we will be in the heat of the TB season. I feel the basketball coach is out of line ,the funny thing about it is that we live in a small community and my dd is the only girl in her 6th grade that has any basketball experience , In order to even play basketball she had to play in another town to play at all. Now girls that she goes to school with are saying that they are going to play basketball in junior high with no experience. So sometimes its not that we don't want are dd's to play other sports. But the choice is being made by someone else.
It can be done, multi sports worked OK for Jennie Finch. Why not our girls?
