Dilemma


  • Coach from area club team begins calling parents in fall wanting junior to play on his team.
  • Parents take junior to tryout and junior is offered spot on team.
  • Parents tell coach they're not concerned about win/loss record but playing time at position 'X'. Parents also tell coach junior will be out a week for church camp.
  • Coach says he can't guarantee playing time. Coach says no big deal about church camp.
  • Parents say thanks, we'll look elsewhere.
  • Coach calls back and says he's asked around about junior and he's comfortable with him at position 'X'.
  • Junior plays postion 'X' a good amount before leaving for church camp. Fielding % - .990, Batting Avg. - .099
  • Junior returns from absence and is told he won't be playing much at position 'X' but will get plenty of time at positions 'Y' and 'Z'


What do you do as the parents? What do you do as the coach if parent calls 'BS' in an unfriendly manner? What do you do as the director of the club if the parents want their money back?
