Reply to "Should I let me son quit?"

1. He needs to learn to deal with adversity.
2. He needs to open a line of communication with the Coach, asking what he needs to do to improve his game, to earn that start position, etc.
3. Do not let him quit! It will haunt him worse than not starting!
4. Be honest about his ability. JV as a junior says something.

We're in a pretty strong 5A district. We have a couple of 2nd year varsity players (sr.'s) who are "warming the pine". It's tough on them. (and, tough on parents, and spectators).And we have a couple Jr.s still on JV.
The Coach has to win games. Senority is secondary to ability, usually.
