If you knew anything about football and coaching a sport, you would understand that this is a fantastic idea.
It's used a team building exercise, gets people to loosen up, freshmen to make freinds with seniors, coaches to joke around with the staff and players and vice versa. Players play harder for a coach that is a good guy and one that they feel as though they are letting down and this is a way to do that.
I think some guys on here have to understand that for one, you're a fan, and for two, these kids do t get paid, they get free tuition and some extras.
They're allowed to have fun and he'll so is the coaching staff. I'm sure them playing dodgeball ain't gonna be the difference between winning the championship or not, if you think that you're delusional.
Grow up OP and before you bash something as simple as this, spend more time coaching in your community and understand the time commitment the kids, parents, coaches and supporting staff put into a game. They deserve it once a while. Sorry they disappoint people who just don't get it.
