At 15 son played on a "select" team...tried out ...made the team...no dad's ...had great experience.

The following January while attending a meeting...and listening very carefully it was evident that something had changed...now 2 dad's were going to coach the team..they had son's on the team...SS and a Pitcher...

Red flag.

Spent a few casual minutes speaking to the 2 new coaches after the meeting..saying hello and all...seems that if they didn't get enough players for the 2nd team..that there would only be one team...too many players if that happened.

Another red flag. At least for us in our pursuit.

We had another option that had come our way, which turned out great..doing our homework was key.

(now, I know all dad's aren't bad...just saying for us....that we were paying too much $$ for a dad to be coaching at this point)
