Synopsis

Have you committed any of "The 8 Fun-Sucking Sins of Youth Sports?" According to Daddy Ball, the answer is probably yes. In little more than a generation, youth sports in the United States has transformed from its humble origins as a local grass roots recreational activity into today’s multimillion-dollar industry that consumes our family’s cash and dominates our frenetic daily schedules. We, the parents, have unwittingly created this chaos, and our kids are paying the price. With Daddy Ball, author Doug Rogers offers a unique and funny take on the chaotic state of youth sports today. He tells tales of both cringe-worthy and laugh-worthy behavior, and captures our most common parenting and coaching mistakes in what he calls, “Fun-Sucking Sins." (e.g., Sin #8: "The Gym Rat Race – If their kids are doing it, playing it, or buying it, then damn it, my kids should be too." ) Rogers contrasts today's sports mania with hilarious stories from his own childhood sports escapades, when "pick-up" play superseded "organized" play. Amidst the storytelling are references to experts' advice and scientific data, all pointing to the primary Daddy Ball message: that when it comes to youth sports, we've gotten it wrong. We should be putting the fun back in, not sucking it out. Daddy Ball will raise your eyebrows, make you cringe, make you laugh, and – hopefully – make you think too.
