I see nothing wrong with it if thats what he really really wants to do.BUT I think I would have to go over the reasons why he quit the first time.Are they going to present themselves again?AND is it going to bother him if he has to play JV being a Junior?<--------and the only reason I say that is because you made mention of it.Thats just my opinion.... :)

And if he can come to terms and deal with those reasons so they don't arise again, by all means. IMO the greatest game ever invented. Be sure he understands that to be able to play the game well, he has to be dedicated to the game. One sport where heart and dedication can achieve a lot, not just talent.

[size=12pt]Support him in anything he wants to do... just tell him if you start it... you finish it.... I support all my kids in all that they do, but we h ave a standing rule... if you start it you finish it... you may never do it again but your going to finish what you start.  don't let him get into a habit of quitting before the job is done.... Just my opinion[/size]

[/quote]Well I would say If his heart is in baseball and chances are hes not going to be able to play baseball because of football.IMO I would wonder if hes really 100% interested in football.Or is he just wanting to be a part of his high school football team.My question to him would be what do you want to do more?Its all bout the heart.

First thing I would do is yank him out of that school for not letting a kid play both.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life...

Some ADs need to have their heads examined.  :-\

I don't think he was saying that AD wouldn't let the kid play baseball.  Some schools do not have a baseball class.  This would mean that you stay in football offseason all year long, during the school day, and practice your other sports after school.

Some of the best college baseball coaches on the planet would tell your son to get in the football program if they want to play baseball at the college level.  A couple of years ago, Graham from Rice had a special done on his penchant for recruiting football/baseball players... he said he liked the toughness they brought to the diamond.  Now I don't think you have to play football to be tough, but the bottom line is a kid who has the stuff to play football is somebody who a lot of college coaches put their faith in due to the football experience.

I have heard that more than once. Football offseason is great for any sport. I bet $100 that any kid that just plays baseball is not in the weight room and doing agility stuff on their own.

If you think about, who cares if you ever step on the football field if your favorite sport is not football. Use that a way to stay in shape.

i do not agree with the other posters about forcing him to go back to football, i believe that he should be able to play whatever he wants, and it seems that he quit after the football season was over so i see no problem with that. but i do agree with coach when he says to finish what you start, it is a habit that everyone can apply to their lives.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      Phelan and Karl Rove!

      By Englebert · Posted

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
