If your child confided in you, do not break that bond.
Do not confront the players, don't arrange for any other players to confront them.
Now that you and your child have this knowledge , keep it in mind regarding future situations and how close a relationship you want your child to have with the offenders.
If the child confided in you , it usually means that they are uncomfortable with the behavior.
This behavior will eventually catch up with the individuals involved.

Stop blaming the coach for anything other than a lack of performance on the pitch.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI can see that side of the argument - and it's different than a HS coach who has school policy issues to deal with. At the same time their actions/bad choices negatively impacted the rest of their team. Maybe they feel guilty after the fact (or maybe not), but a little kick in the pants from their teammates isn't a bad idea. They need to understand choices have consequences and it often times impacts others, not just yourself

What's next on the worry list-prom night, late night at a church function, dog kept barking, neighbor mowing at 7:00am.
Remember, these kids can be in the killing fields at 18, but they can't have a beer:it's too dangerous
How did we all manage to survive?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDon't be a prude. And don't guilt shame the parents. Heck, maybe the parents smoke pot too. Its quite common I hear. When I played years ago, many of my teammates (and I) liked to party. Mainly beer, booze, & babes. But we practiced hard and were always ready for game day. Indeed there is a lower tolerance for HS athletes these days, but let's not forgot they are kids and what we did when we were younger and what our parents did when they were younger, and on and on.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLet's not forget that today is a completely different animal than when we were in high school. The access and type of drugs the kids are using is alarming. Drinking alcohol before a game is outrageous for this age. There should be ZERO tolerance. Aren't you paying attention? 5 heroin deaths every 5 minutes. Alcohol and pot are the first steps. Please open your mouth to nip this in the bud ASAP.

And don't confuse having playing with a hangover with drinking before a game. The poster never said anything about the players drinking before a game...unless you are inferring the night before as "before" the game.

For all you know the kid had 1/2 beer and claimed to be so wasted to appear cool in front of his friends. Or maybe he even made it up. You, nor the OP have zero idea whatsoever what they did or didn't do. The team lost, period. Mind your own business. and stop making excuses.
