Great post at the top.

Kids should have fun while they are young.

And--it seems like basketball coaches are the ones who always demand that their kids ONLY play basketball.

Please kids--have fun now while you are young. Don't wait until you are out of school and wonder if you would have been any good at playing a different sport. Chances are, if you are good at basketball, you could be good at another sport.

And remember--the one thing that basketball coaches DO NOT TELL YOU is that the odds are definitely against you. A basketball team gets 13 scholarships. A football team gives 85. And big, tall, lanky athletes are WANTED in football. They are a dime a dozen in basketball.

Use your head. Don't let the coach make all of your decisions for you.
