Today one of the captains of my son's high school team called and said something to the effect of "hey a bunch of us are going to such-and-such a facility to hit, and the pitchers are going to throw, you comin'?" When my son asked who was going the teammate/captain said, "All of us who were on the team last year, this season's probable starters". My son couldn't go because he was on his way out to the gym (it's weight training day), but said he would make the next one (the kids hope to hold these things weekly). Can anyone who knows the Massachusetts (MIAA) rules tell me if these kids are violating rules against "Captain's Practices". I told my son he ought to find out, I'd hate to see his team DQ'd this season. Am I way off base? My kid thinks I'm crazy.
