Great post. This is such a tricky situation, because we are all taught to not be "quitters", but I totally agree with what Midlo Dad said about team loyalty going both ways. If a dad/coach is more interested in what is best for his son instead of the team, he gets nor deserves any loyalty from me.
My boy switched teams in the middle of last year. He had played every inning, so it wasn't a lack of playing time, but he was very uncomfortable with the fact that several groups of parents were feuding to the point that there was at least one liquor fueled altercation. The coaches had also cancelled 2 of every 3 practices. So obviously I lost Zero sleep when Tanner decided that he wanted to play for a team that better fit his personality and goals. I guess some people would disagree with our decision, but I would humbly have to ask why?
