My oldest son just started his second year of midget football and has been struggling through practices. Not so much because he is out of shape but because his pants don’t fit. Running wind sprints is difficult when your pants slide down to fit more like a gunny sack in a potato race. We determined that the problem isn’t the size of the pants, but the fact that the ‘belt’ really isn’t a belt because it doesn’t loop through the pants around the waist. Instead the two ends, each about six inches long, are sewn to the front. Essentially the best he can do is cinch his pants. Poor kid. He’s usually too big for his britches. I think we’ll be cocooning his trousers up with athletic tape tonight.
