I coach 11-12 year olds along with Junior High and assist with HS. I have an 11 year old who is very talented on my recreation team. He is constantly in trouble at school, does not do his work, and is really a team distraction. I don't want to give up on him, but many adults have made efforts to positively impact him. I am struggling with the decision to cut him for post season play (all stars team). The question I ask to those who have experience in these situations is:
Will the problem-super star and team benefit more from getting cut from all stars due to bad attitude or keep him and give him a chance to grow up?
He keeps saying he is going to quit in hopes that he will get begged to play any way.
Just looking for some thoughts and sound advice on this. Remember he is 11. Thanks.
