hahahahahahaha Please tell me you're joking. Yes, I was. There always should be sport where 60 kids do stand around for and scratch their crotch while 11 play. I'll give basketball its kudos it is good for getting HJ, LJ and Trpl J in shape. The rest I am dead serious, especially number 3 After a certain age, most kids don't care for running because it's running, not because some coach is putting a negative spin on it. What happens when a kid is late to a practice, he runs. What happens when he gets a technical in basketball, he runs in practice. Interview any person and they will say they hate running becuase so and so made me running for 30 minutes before or after practice, usually in a some eliptical manner (football field/bb court)
