I don't like cont. batting order for age 10 and up. If a player knows they get to bat, then they don't try as hard to earn the spot. Trophies-we had a kid on our team once-age 13 who stopped coming halfway through season and when team won league champions. dad calling looking for sons trophy. Couldn't believe it- Little Johnny didn't earn it.My son hated getting trophies other than first, maybe an ocas. second. He thought it was dumb-he didn't need/want it-think parents do, that's why they do it.
