This is how to raise quitters: Recently announced rule changes for players in the 7 to 13 age range now include a fine of $200 for teams that win by at least 35 points and week-long suspensions for violations. According to deputy commissioner Robert Rochin, the league decided to implement the directives because poorly performing teams have difficulty retaining players. “If they are constantly getting beat, who wants to play anymore?” he asked, noting that players quit “all season long because of that.” While kids should have the freedom to either stick with a struggling team in hopes of making it stronger or quit when the going gets tough, the entire league should not cater to those in the latter group.
