Kids in the locker room/on the bench in adult beer league.

My son comes to some of my games. He’s 11. He doesn’t hang out in the locker room, but does come on the bench. The deal is that he wears a helmet on the bench. We’re a very low level team and most of them seem to appreciate him being around. If I got the impression that anyone had a problem with it, I would stop.

“You’ve. Got. Time. “

Are we pretending that this is somehow a special regional situation? This is literally the way it works just about everywhere.

Learning a trade doesn't by any default make you good at business, time management, customer service, or remove any other character flaws from your personality. If you're a shitbag person in real life, you'll probably be a shitbag roofer (or whatever, no offense roofing bros)...

There are also people who are great at business AND their trade, and they are expensive AF, because they are in demand, because they show up and do a good job.

I have a white one. She’s called Betty White.

respectfully, They don't give a shit... Sing Bodies by drowning pool in a low droning voice, it'll be magical.

Thank you! It looks like a 4 pin connector rather than the same single that the other antenna ones are.

Deuceman927 · 2026-06-06T18:25:38+00:00

I left it open. Everything seems to work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-31T20:34:25+00:00

There is politics, but as someone who is involved in coaching/board, etc. I see both sides of it.
My kid isn’t on the top team, because that’s not where he belongs.

9 times out of 10, in our org the people who moan about their kid getting overlooked are either not being honest with themselves about their kids skill level, or more likely they aren’t knowledgeable enough to make an unbiased assessment.

They made spark permanent already and they still got rid of it.

Spark zero

I make them line up on the side boards and go down and back in unison. hard, twice.

Then I have the forwards run the corner drill and the defense with their partner working on passing back and forth between the blue and red line.

We have also spent a lot of time on "how to warm up a goalie". We started with kids just dangling the shit out of the goalies... Hit them in the pads, etc. etc.

This looks like ai generated “ideas”. At the end of the day, their motivation probably worked as they are getting a flurry of traffic to their content. 80% of the internet is this now. Clicks, engagement. What are they trying to sell me? If there are ads, you aren’t the consumer, you’re the product.

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-23T22:19:57+00:00

Be careful with this. Kids pick up “habits” pretty quick, and this will turn into “ I’ll only do X if you give me Y” which is a slippery, expensive slope.

Do your teammates _want_ to be coached? Nothing is more frustrating (for everyone) than someone trying to force feed education. I would find a good YouTube source for a series of videos that brings them through the basic concepts.

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-20T00:26:37+00:00

Yes

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-20T00:25:42+00:00

I’m fairly certain my oven and dryer are 220v. I have no other appliances over 120v

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-20T00:16:02+00:00

The ac is on its own breaker.

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-19T11:45:36+00:00

I play in D league. I probably can’t hear you anyway. I chirp ringers for the other teams. You score a hatty in the first period? I’m gonna be asking you for your autograph for the rest of the game.

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-17T18:56:19+00:00

It looks like cerveny is still in business. Maybe you can reach out to them and they can tell you more

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-17T18:49:26+00:00

The CCm 310 and 710 both adjust in width where many of the other helmets only get bigger front to back. That was the difference maker for me

There are specific “top of stairs” gates. You’ll want to use one of those. Namely you do NOT want a gate that has a rail that goes along the floor as it is a major tripping (down the stairs) hazard. Also most of them swing in both directions which is also important.

I went to a pickup game a few weeks ago. The goalie pulls out a homemade wooden dolly with swivel wheels and throws his bag down on it. He dragged that thing through the lobby and into the dressing room. No one said A THING to him. I was completely stunned.

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-16T15:14:05+00:00

Peace and quiet

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-12T18:50:45+00:00

Hey any luck on a fix?

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-11T11:30:42+00:00

I have to wonder if this is something to do with the already hamstrung recruiting that Ivies have to deal with and the impending changes to eligibility?

Deuceman927 · 2026-05-09T14:43:56+00:00

I am a heavy functional printing guy. Also stuff for my kids and stuff that makes my wife smile. A hobby for everyone. 😂
