Thanks!

Thank you all so much for your replies. I have been trying to keep things easy at home these past few week. I really feel for the kids! We have talks when he is in a good mood, sadly his overall attitude been off for weeks now.

We start back next week with 2 days/2 hours to ease the kids back in. I know of 2 that we have lost. My Son talks about quitting, but have told him 4 months at regular full training before we allow a decision. Before Covid shut down, he never thought about quitting. He is also a 12yo in the...

They get workouts 5 days a week and he Zooms them with a teammate. They do Zoom meeting as a team on Sundays with the Coach. He does like his teammates... they are better behaved then his school friends that's for sure! It's just hard hearing him so negative. I know deep down he loves it.
