I’m with coach on this one. I coached travel. In 13u we played fifty games in the summer. Three kids tried to also play CYO or Babe Ruth. I told them I didn’t like it. The first time it interferes with my team you’re in trouble.

Trouble came when a scheduled pitcher for an elimination game arrived thirty minutes before game time telling me he pitched five innings that morning. The second time he did this he only pinch hit or pinch ran all weekend. He didn’t return the following season. The dad thought I was a bastard.

Two other kids started missing practices due to Babe Ruth all stars. I didn’t invite them back for 14u.

After holding my ground and setting the standard in 13u there weren’t any problems in 14u and 16u.
