I was talking to my boss yesterday about youth football. Too many Dads think they're the next Vince Lombardi and their boy is the next Barry Sanders.
Recently I was working a youth set. The 6 year olds, (which didn't exist in "my day") , known as Pups, we don't work. The coaches stay on the field to "instruct" and officiate.
One of the home team administrators approached me and began to converse. He said he foresaw the day when they would have to hire a couple of us to work that game because the coaches begin to argue about penalties and such.
I told him that he didn't need to hire us, he just need to pull his pants up and remove any coach that can't understand the concept of their format. Park a couple in the stands, or better, the house, and the message will get across much faster and the league will save money.
