Every summer it happens, parents pull kids out of classes, pause their memberships, in some cases cancel them Even more frustrating is the kids that cancel for these reasons through the regular year. Too often I hear “I feel like I’m forcing them, they’re giving me a hard time, he doesn’t feel like it.” I get it.. you got vacations planned then fine, but letting them decide the outcome??? No way… remember why you brought them in to begin with, to learn discipline, commitment, make them more confident… letting them quit when it gets hard or if they don’t feel like it… it doesn’t show any of those things. Not everyone will take to this other sports from school might become involved and that’s fine, but remember this is not just a sport it’s a lifestyle they will use forever. So don’t let them quit at the first sign of push back!! Beth Rosen Thompson N. Y. Cesar Nola Gubbins Michelle Clemenza Ashley Lynn Sarah McDonough Chris Corbo Joseph Thompson Sylvia Arenas Alexis
