Presidents Weekend Tourney - Does anyone have any fun anymore?

The wonder of youth sports today! Parents living vicariously through their kids accomplishments............acting like jerks in the process and taking all the fun out of it for their kids. It's no wonder that more & more kids are deciding not to participate in sports once they reach high school.

Absolutely concur! This post could be seen under baseball, soccer, football or on any other board - just change the sport. Unfortunately, basketball is in a smaller, indoor, more confined area which exacerbates the problem. Sad we have come to this.....but, it is what it is..... As parents and coaches we must lead by example and try to be part of the solution.
