It depends on the situation. I would only let a kid come back under two conditions.

1. First, I would have to be satisfied that he had a legitimate reason for quitting and things have changed for him now that would allow him to come back. It would have to be his first time quitting and he would have to be ready to make up the work he has missed. And if he quit because of temper, etc., he would have to be ready to leave all of that behind.

And then

2. Secondly, if and only if he goes in front of his teammates and they vote to allow him to come back. They are the ones he turned his back on and they probably know him and his motives better than any of the coaches. If they welcome him back, then OK.
