the football coach wants us to buy cleats which are like $50 (expensive for my budget). but I might not even pass the physical test because i have scoliosis and the school hasnt given us any papers yet for the test, so why should i buy them if im not even sure ill be able to play ?

my scoliosis is minor

for those who dont know

Yeah, that sucks. I know a little 4'9'' asian freshman that went out and spent $300 on football gear before he tried out. Well, let's just say he has some stuff for next time.

You can get them for cheaper if you look harder. A lot of the discount shoe stores sell them for $30 and under.

Now now, there's no need to get mad at the coach for trying to create the best team possible and cutting you.

I have no idea. But dude...I also have very minor scoliosis :| And its kind of annoying because if I stand for a long period of time by back kind of starts to hurt. Kind of off-topic, but do you know how much surgery is?

yeah my basketball coach was an ass.....we had about 15 people on our team (really small school) and i was on it. I didnt play one game. We didnt even know any plays. He just played the 5 best players every game and all they did was fast breaks for a quick lay up. The sad thing was that they missed it 90 percent of the time.
