I Have A Dilemma With A Newbie

[EAGLES FAN]

I Detailed A Saints Team And Tweaked Some Bases For My Grandson To Play Against My Eagles Team. I Keep It Pretty Close And Try To Teach Some Basic Formations And Plays To Him, By The Way He Is Seven. He Played In Peewee Tackle Football This Year. They Went Three And Three. There Is Nothing Better For Me Than To See His Face Light Up When Reggie Bush Breaks Through My Defense And Finds The End Zone. Let Him Win!

I have the same dillema. Both my nephews play football (7th and 9th grade) but when they play MF, all they want to do is score touchdowns on every play. I know they have the football knowledge but they see MF as more of a game. What do you do! I want to keep them interested but they can play THAT STUPID VIDEO GAME and win every time.

Coach,
I've been letting these guys win for years! I love to hear them talk trash and brag about what a great team they have. It makes me feel good to see these minature adults put so much of there egos and talents into these little imaginary plastic figures. Let the little guys win for a while and just when they think they know everything you clobber them. In your case wait until the little dude turns 15-16 he should be manture enough to handle it.
