My son is a 11 years old grade 5 boy. He had been in Markham gators team for a while, but we just quit yesterday. If your kids are the top 5 in the team then you are lucky, the Coach will try to treat you kids nicely and give your kids much more play time than the other kids. If your kids are not so great for example if they are last 3 in the team, it was like a nightmare. The Coach is trying to create a wolf culture in the team. If you are the top player , you can take other players time to play. If you are at the bottom, you are not deserve to play. They are trying to teach a group of 11 year old boy how cruel the world is, weak meat strong eat. There is no fairness, no compassionate, no caring about other kids' feeling. There is only fighting to win the game. The Coach will find any excuses to kick your kids out of the court letting the other kids who play better substitute you. The kids' confidence will be destroyed by this. This team's spirit is encouraging discrimination to the less competent players in the team. I want my boy to be himself, I want him know if he is trying he can improve. Enjoy to play even he lost the game but he tried. I want my boy understand team work, be compassionate and willing to help. So I won't choose a team like this ever again no matter the coaches' training skill good or not. read more
