Coach, you have a problem. I see your dilema about drawing the line. You are dealing with shades of grey. Try to go black and white. Here is an idea..

This will take some effort on your part..

RULE:
You miss practice/game for any reason you make it up!! Period!

Schedule make up practices Saturday night at 8:00pm or 4:00am Sunday morning. Or both. It will then become a priority for the player to schedule extracurricular activities around baseball.
In your example of the 80yr thing....Do you think that kid wants to flush 4 or 5 Saturday nights???
He11 no!! You will be amazed how kids/parents can be creative in scheduling around baseball when they have an incentive.

This was my HS coaches rule, Rarely did my coach ever have to run an 8:00 Sat. night practice. I stayed home from school once during season with the flu, but my Azz found a way to get to practice!
btw, my HS coach was a GREAT GUY! Luv him to this day!
