[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 150800, member: 3626"] I'm with Witz -- talk to the coaching staff. The other obvious question is how does your son feel about going. Have you talked to him about what the expectations are? For my daughter, it was volleyball. Same type of behavior -- running around, not paying attention, getting in other peoples' space, etc. The coach and I discussed this and we both agreed she needed the social aspect but she also needed to not disrupt everyone. So, we came up with a signal. If the coach scratched her nose with a straight finger, it was time for me to take my daughter home. I'd explained to my child this might happen and that it was not because she was being "bad" but because she just learning how to control herself, it was NOT a punishment and that we would go back for the next game and/or practice. It took her about two years to make it through the games entirely but she did. It was not easy but I do think it was worth it in the long run. [/QUOTE]
