There were things that happened in youth ball that quite frankly were not right. I would if I could attend his games and certain things occurred that quite frankly were wrong.Certain kids got special treatment. when it was time to select the tournament teams etc there was the daddyball and politics but to me that was no surprise but try telling that to an 11 or 12 year old kid who ate and slept baseball.
You are absolutely correct in what you say.
As I stated before
quote:
One key thing he told me that I believe would greatly benefit league ball is a "rule" they used. The rule is this:
"No parent could coach in an age group that their kid played in".
It is very hard to make things square for all kids when the LL coaches who generally run the league have an agenda. These coaches are not all bad and most have good intensions.
That's why I believe you phase in this rule one age group at a time. It is an alternative to what is widespread now but I would not say it is a perfect system either.
