" It's time to let this one go--
Kids quit for what ever reason, I'm sure if the kid doesn't want be there than the coach does't want him/her to waste his/her time. Teams go on to play. Play with what you have. Show pride in you school. Kids who love the sport will continue to play there or elsewhere. When you look back on it either you will be glad you quit or glad you played.Childhood is short enjoy it.

" In response to quiting losers,
Deming sports has never been about winning, it has been about giving these kids a chance to play.Deming fans support their kids win or lose. Every year these coaches give up countless hours in practice,games and bus trips. To ask the kids to give 100% effort is that too much? "

" Wow, this is high school baseball isn't it? What happened to finishing what you started, sportsmanship and team play training. Kids play sports to learn valuable lessons they can use later in life, not for trophies and stats. What's wrong with parents, administrators and coaches who lose sight of that fact with a win at all cost mentality. What a shameful example these adults collectively are providing for these young men. We wonder, as a society why our children stray, make mistakes and choose the wrong path...Maybe they do so only because they are following our examples we set for them as adults. Re-evaluate yourselves if you find that you have anything to do with young persons life and remember that they are watching, following and inheriting what you teach them. Wake up people and remember that you are the adults here. "

" In response...
The KHSAA requirement does say level two coaches need to be trained on the physical and emotional development of students of the age who he/she will be working with, However...
it says "provided by the school district" So my question is, Has Deming provided training for all coaches both middle and high school? Maybe the Deming athletic program as a whole should be evaluated on the lack of following proper procedures in all of its sports both middle and highschool....And to the kids still playing baseball best of luck with the rest of the season, and remember quitters never prosper.

" My kid had every reason to quit the basketball team, and even wanted to but wasn't allowed. So, the next year it was his decision not to play. Win or lose, play or sat the bench, like the coach or not he has to stick out. "

" Why continue to reference the recent team members quitting? These 13 errors per game, cry baby, a baseball player would make that throw, 8th grader had to bail you out Sr pitcher, do not back your pitcher up, show me something different, quitters club as they have been referred to only would provide negative outcomes. I think the players were told it made no difference if they quit or not. Discipline is a part of the coaching process and that would be the reason KHSAA has a bylaw stating Level 2 coaches must be trained on the physical and emotional development of students of the age whom he/she will be working with,the
school's discipline policies, procedures for dealing with discipline problems, and safety training. If the students/players are constantly showing lack of sportsmanship or character the school needs to be notified so appropriate discipline can be administered. Coaches do not need to humiliate the players in the presence of fans, teammates, parents and other teams. Positive motivation-point out their successes, encourage to improve and teach needed skills. Realize a coach is the motivator of the team and he/she is the adult..reason for KHSAA requirement shall be 21 years of age. BTW the writer does mention the pitcher is a "freshman". The freshman has not pitched very many games..a few last year but he continues to
improve. "Quitters Club" parent wishes the remaining Deming players the Best of Luck with the remainder of the season. "
