competitive little kid sports

[steve dave]

ordered lil sd a guardian cap for his helmet. becoming very common here. I'm going to petition (bitch at them and guilt trip them) our league to make them mandatory next season.

I've heard (no idea if true) that some people encourage not wearing them because if you modify equipment like a helmet it basically nullifies any equipment company liability in case of injury.

I’m probably more interested in lil sd’s brain health than the ability to sue Riddel if he gets brain health’d.

No idea how these work. Isn't the issue that on impact our brain moves a bit and hits your skull? Wouldn't the force be the same inside your head? I guess it probably absorbs and minimizes it the more padding you have???

In case you guys were wondering, i'm not a scientist. Also, all kids should be wearing these things.

makes sense

[steve dave]

lil sd's 6th grade team gets to be on the field for warmups and pregame for the school we feed to tonight. the boys are HYPE for it. did it last year as well, was very cool.

[steve dave]

also our HS was pretty good last year. Think like 9-3 or something. made semifinals in class A state. they are supposed to be kinda shitty this year though because they lost a lot of talent. and we play three of the top 5 teams to start the season. MAY BE A ROUGH START FOLKS.

[steve dave]

BOOOOOOO! (giant gasp of air) BOOOOOoOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 

boys made it a fight at least

HS football is definitely a much larger commitment than it was in my day.

that's not too much different than what we did at 2A Meade in the late 90s other than the meeting starting at 7 PM. we always wrapped up by 6:30 but same weights times, practice times, and film.

[nicname]

Ha! Prob why we sucked traditionally. We were first winning team in like a decade

[SleepFighter]

Look at you guys without a double booked class for practice during school hours. Do you even Texas bro?

This is pretty similar to CF3 Jr's. They had a jamboree on Friday and like 4 times the freshmen were shoving the other team. The coach was enraged. Was incred.

It means that for many varsity sports (sorry wrestling, water polos, et. al.), you meet as a class 5 days a week, for the entirety of the school year in an academic period called "football".

For the record, mere core classes like English and Math are single booked, meaning they meet every other day.

[SleepFighter]

And of course, you still also have practice and conditioning outside of class time during your season.

in Meade the entire football team had a class called "weights" and it was essentially PE just for the football team. We'd also do film, etc. So basically the same thing sounds like.

[star seed 7]

Yup, weight lifting was mandatory for football players. Football dudes were 1st or 2nd period, then the normies got it during lunch.

lil sd has really bad "catcher's heel" which from what I have googled is actually called "sever's disease". basically the growth plate on his heel giving him tons of pain. he hobbles around like an old man. lots of travel ball catchers his age have it from doing catching stuff. also gives him tons of pain in football. what you're supposed to do for it is ice, stretch, ibuprofen, rest. rest is off the table for him in season and we are never not in season. He will stretch it when it hurts only. the problem is when it doesn't hurt he just doesn't do it. I have to chew his ass to do it and am trying to get him to understand the stretching when it doesn't hurt is what will make it NOT HURT (or hurt less) after practice/games. have you guys dealt with this? apparently he'll grow out of it about 14 yo. I got him heel cups for both his cleats and regular shoes.

Yes. Feels great when you are warmed up but as soon as you sit/rest it’s like a nail being driven into your foot

also yes, rest is the best thing for it

[pissclams]

wait a minute, pissclams.  is this a trick?  how do you get a 11 year old to rest? and that folks, is the real conundrum. 

you could try a shock collar where the boundaries are set for his bedroom

I saw a Steelers lineman wearing a guardian cap in the game today, these things might be coming faster than I thought.
