How to Prep the Leaders for a Child Team

Don't go to a camp and pretend that there's no issues. Meet adults in advance as the parent without the kid, have a conversation with the adult leaders about what's up with your kid. Expose your child to safer, more intimate forms of competition which might make it more intense for him because he's competing with mom and dad or whatever. You have to wonder what are you trying to get out of the sport? Is it just I played football and my kids going to play football is not a good enough answer.
