Which Footy Club is best?

Question

My son Sam is a keen footballer I am very proud of him .

He plays for Rosedale and lives in Hefield there is about 35 km between towns .

Heyfield would understandably like to recruit him next year as they are short of players .

Rosedale know love and support my children , and all Sams high school mates play for Rosedale .

Yet it is costing me a lot of time and money to drive back and forth .

Even still I would like him to play for Rosedale next year

Is it fair to let your son play against his home town when they are short of players

I will add Sam wants to play for Rosedale thanks thinker

Answer 1

no.

Answer 2

My son wants to change football team every season. 5 years later he is still playing for the same team. My only advice to you is to let him decide who he wants to play for!

Answer 3

I'm in the same situation as you, I have decided to let my son choose and try and support him the best I can. At the end of the day he is the one playing not us and he has to be happy on and off the field.Yes it's fair to let him play against his home town it's not his fault they are unable to recruit players for whatever reason.

Answer 4

let Sam play where he wants to play for. Thats where he will be the happest and thats what counts.  Aussie footy is the best

Answer 5

If enjoys playing for the team he is with then it's probably best to leave him there. Ultimately it should be his choice as to which team he'd prefer to play for, have you asked him what he would prefer?

Answer 6

Its best to let him play for the team he is most comfortable with. If you force him to play for a team he doesn't feel comfortable with, he will never fulfil his full potential as a player and he certainly won't get the full social benefit.

Answer 7

What a tough desicion.

It'll be ok i think if he can take a lot of ribbing from his mates but if he's a strong lad and not to wimpy then he'll be ok.

Good luck.
