are going to do it, do it right. You can't half ace it because it puts your kids at risk and risks the safety of their teammates. Once you put in 10-15 hours a week, buying some polo shirts and team gear is no biggie.

Thats why football requires a birth certificate

Utah club soccer requires a birth certificate too

Kids sports are crazy. Parents honestly think their little Mikey is the next

It's true.

Lame, but I wouldn't take it personally. Some people are weird with that stuff

Good thing you don't take things personally and th'down multiple times & stuff.

rec ball is breeding ground for idiots

BlueFrog

My rec league requires birth certificates. I'd just call them out on that in

Are you honest in your dealings?

Coog4Life

9/3/15 1:18pm

Very disappointing to realize someone in your trust circle is not trustworthy

Cthack1

9/3/15 1:18pm

Just like deflategate, this is just a traffic infraction. No biggie

DK-

9/3/15 1:19pm

Lying about a kid's age? No. That is slimeball cheating.

YSMACK

9/3/15 1:21pm

Its 8 year old soccer, not D1 Football. We played a kid who had to be 120+ lbs

DK-

9/3/15 1:23pm

IN soccer that age, 1 older kid can make all the difference.

Baron

9/3/15 1:27pm

Calling him out on it means that you care just as much as he does for cheating.

DK-

9/3/15 1:28pm

I would call out the parent at the draft for lying. I want the kids to have

Baron

9/3/15 1:32pm

to each their own, but just think how awesome it will be if/when you beat them

DK-

9/3/15 1:33pm

And think how bad it is if you get pummeled because the kid scores 9 goals

YSMACK

9/3/15 1:39pm

When I was a kid I liked playing against older kids because it was

DK-

9/3/15 1:52pm

Again, that is fallacious.

YSMACK

9/3/15 1:55pm

Do you even hear yourself?

YSMACK

9/3/15 1:42pm

All I'm saying is it doesn't bother me. I've coached a ton of teams over the

DK-

9/3/15 1:46pm

Policing other people isn't even the issue. Honesty and not being a dirtbag is.

YSMACK

9/3/15 1:47pm

THere are bigger dirtbags in the world to deal with then this guy

DK-

9/3/15 1:49pm

Oh my gosh. So what. That doesn't mean you don't call a spade a spade.

YSMACK

9/3/15 1:53pm

Maybe you equate it with stealing, I equate it with a minor infraction, one that

DK-

9/3/15 2:04pm

The difference is one of malum in se and malum prohibitum.

YSMACK

9/3/15 2:16pm

Thank you for enlightening me. How could I have been so foolish.

DK-

9/3/15 3:00pm

Sliding scale on adult personal integrity...no biggie?

Cthack1

9/3/15 1:27pm

Its just something I don't care about. Like jay walking or speeding. Sure its

DK-

9/3/15 1:31pm

I agree that it is a small impact on the integrity of the 8 yr old soccer...but

Cthack1

9/3/15 1:40pm

Ya I'd know hes a cheater, but its one thing to cheat in a soccer game,

DK-

9/3/15 1:43pm

Exactly. IT'S 8 YEAR OLD SOCCER! Freaking play in your right league!

YSMACK

9/3/15 1:35pm

Exactly, its 8 year old soccer, who cares, I doubt anyone will remember

DK-

9/3/15 1:40pm

Everyone involved cares. Duh! Which is why there is a rule in the 1st place.

YSMACK

9/3/15 1:44pm

I don't cheat but I'm not going to police others that do. ITs not my job

DK-

9/3/15 1:47pm

LOL. I'm not policing anyone. We are having a discussion about it and you are

YSMACK

9/3/15 1:52pm

we played a team that cheated on saturday. here were the results

DK-

9/3/15 2:07pm

So what. Do you think anecdotal evidence changes the general likelihood?

YSMACK

9/3/15 2:21pm

I didn't say he shouldn't be disappointed, only that it doesn't bug me.

DK-

9/3/15 2:08pm

Actually, you implied exactly that.

YSMACK

9/3/15 2:18pm

I'm sorry you inferred that. My apologies

DK-

9/3/15 1:21pm

You're right. I really liked the coaches gear, I even snapped a quick photo...

RunningQB

9/3/15 1:27pm

Nice... the shorts really complete the whole outfit. I'd buy it.

DK-

9/3/15 1:32pm

I just kid of course

RunningQB

9/3/15 1:36pm

honestly don't know what this gets the kid. playing down doesn't help

bald man

9/3/15 1:18pm

Its probably good for his confidence though

DK-

9/3/15 1:22pm

until he can't make a real team that requires skills. and knowledge

bald man

Also, I'm excited to see the follow up post in a few years

RunningQB

That could backfire on the parents

I will admit to using a fake address

9/3/15 3:58pm

Wait, you used a fake address, got busted, and wanted your money back?

SJS

9/3/15 6:15pm

Sure, play your son with lesser players. That will help him improve his game...T

UYSA requires an authentic birth certificate, surprised your league doesn't

During Ward conference you can vote not to sustain him.

El Fuego

9/3/15 4:16pm

Well if he wants to play that way you have choice, but to get your kids on PED's
