Reply to "Youth team kicked out of the league!"

I do remember the year when one of my kids played on an all-13-year-old team in a 13-15 league. The coaches in the league didn't want to disburse the 14- and 15-year-olds before the season, but they expanded the total number of teams before the season.

Everybody thought it was going to be ugly ... and it was. The all-13 team went undefeated and gave up fewer than 10 runs in a 20-game season, often winning by double digits. As it worked out, they let the coach of the expansion team (league went from 5 to 6 teams) pick the first five players. He took the best five kids from the previous year's LL tournament team. By the time it was over, 9 of the team's 12 players played in the LL tournament the year before, and eight of the 12 came from two LL teams (the two division winners from the previous year).

They re-disbursed the players the next season.
