Had an absolute first this weekend 5th grade kid- MPR- scale of 1-10 he is a 1 62 lbs and 3rd slowest on team Doesnt proccess information well Nice kid- always smiling Zero athleticism Likes asking questions
At halftime of our game yesterday, each coach goes through his thoughts I review what happened, what changes, goals for second half etc Then I ask for any questions- This kid raises his hand, then pulls down the collar of his uniform and asks me; DO YOU THINK MY NECK IS BROKEN? He was serious, he had a big red mark on his neck I smiled and assured him that while his neck might hurt a bit, I was pretty certain it wasnt broken ;D

That is why I love coaching little kids.....some of the things that they come up with while being completely serious is amazing

Are you sure it wasn't broken? I'd hate to see you get sued. Maybe it was just a little broken?

Doing a drill to get them to take their lanes, then converge on the QB, and one knocks the ball out of the QBs hand while tackling, the others must recover the ball. I'm setting the drill up when one DE says: "Coach, coach, if I hit the ball before he throws it, that's pass interference right?" I said: "well, it will certainly interfere with the pass, but in this case, it's legal". He said: "ok coach".
