We're in precisely the same boat. It drives you nuts but what are you going to do? issue salt tablets and withhold water?  I just hate that I am becoming "that guy" (that doesn't adjust to today's players or whatever). I hate to be so stubborn (having a mentality that alienates from the players) Hey, I know just what you mean. When you let it make you mad, though, it really only bothers you. Bottom line- the kid's going to get another mouthpiece because it's a required piece of equipment. Should the kids be more responsible? Sure. Are we going to teach him a lesson by benching a two way starter during a tight game ? No. We also charge kids for replacement mouthpieces but I doubt that anybody pays it. We have one guy who handles all of the equipment stuff and if he's collected any money he hasn't turned it in. I understand why it's annoying but what the he!!? Why let it kill you? |

We had a mouth piece problem a few years ago. We told them the state came up with a rule that all mouth pieces must be attached. Problem solved...until they chew them down to nothing.
Does anyone have an issue of the players not molding their mouth pieces? I would say that 99% of our players JV and Varsity do not mold their mouth pieces.

Tired of kids asking me for new style helmets. If one kid has a revolution or DNA helmet then I have everyone asking why they don't have one. Our JV Qb bought a Schutt Ion 4D and all of practice I had other plaers more worried about how cool it was and why did he get one than paying attention to practice. A helmet is a helmet, it's about protection not how cool you look...
