Best decision my team ever made!

[FragTek]

It is about time. We are preparing for the 05 season and trying to figure everything out. What we can do to be more competitive, to get better etc. Our team captain decided, no smoking any type of drug this season. May sound like common sense, but about 50% of the people at the field smoke cigarettes. Including 6 of the 8 people on my team. It was cutting into practice time and was just so stupid. So as of Jan 1st, no more smoking. If you are caught, 1 warning, caught again off the team, no second chances.

And switching from proto to empire is number 2

I don't play on teams that don't smoke :) In fact, I don't think i've ever been on a team that the whole team didnt smoke cigarettes and weed.... Viva La Team Dank!

Dude tony are you feeling alright man?

yes, porque?

Telf, I'm sure kids are probably still going to smoke, as long as they don't do it at the field, I don't really care. The captain does though. I would still like to see everyone quit. It is doing no good to anyone.

This is an awesome idea, but why stop at smoking?

I mean, there are other activities that slow down practices. I purpose you consult with your caption to remove poop rights, maybe even urination. Heck, just get rid of the port-a-potty on the field. Every time spent in the bathroom is time could have been spent running drills.

Or everyone could go onto go on the Atkins diet, if you eat over 300 carbs a week, your cut from the team. I mean you want a thin agil team don't you? [/end sarcasim]

I am not a smoker, nor do I support smoking. But your caption made a personal decision for everyone on the team that doesn't seem fair. Theres nothing wrong with saying no smoking during practices, I can see how it would delay playing time and/or even be a hassle in some situations. But to say no smoking all together or your cut, thats a litte egotistic. Seems like your capt wants to quit smoking, and if he has to go through the trouble of quiting, everyone else has to.

Either way, its good you guys are looking at the next season more seriously. Hard work almost always pays off.

Me and my Captian decided this when I used to play paintball...

Then I quit paintball...

This wasn't solely the captains choice. The other kid on our team and myself have been pushing everyone to stop. So he took it into his hands and is going to try to get everyone to stop. There are plenty of good kids out there that can fill spots on our team. We aren't worried.

no smoking

Good choice!! If you all stick with it you will see better proformance. Plus if your teammates rather smoke than practice Quiting smoking is not going to help. They need to decide if they want to play and be competitive. I use to belong to a martial arts fighting team and the guys that did not give up smoking or leaving early to go bar hopping never got there full potential. Everyone's young and dumb at one part in there life. Good luck I hope you team uses this rule to pull together.
