I am from the school that you never quit. But ...
Two years ago, my 12-year-old made his Little League's all-star team. He made it clear when he was selected that if the coaches didn't think he was going to get significant time, he would turn down the spot. He would have to give up a lot of "good stuff" to be on the team.
Well, the coaches promised things and they didn't deliver. He wanted to quit the team and, grudgingly, I let him, three games into the tournament (he never played in the field).
He did not play baseball last year; wanted to part of it. But we moved last summer and this spring, he asked us to get him a physical so he could try out for the junior high team. We were stunned.
His first game is today and he seems to be having fun. Half of the kids that played on the Little League all-star team are no longer in the game.
You never know.
