Was looking over the online feedback we got in our local rec. league from last season...sometimes I wonder if feedback is a good thing or not...but lots of good stuff. And then there were these...
* My child could not wait for the season to end. He is not alone.
* ...stop allowing the board to change/bend the rules to tilt things to their sons' advantage. All players should be developed not just the powerbrokers' kids.
* Interesting that is ALWAYS the coaches' kids who pitch....Conclusion: I guess to have your kids pitch, you need to be a coach!
* I know several parents felt that home field advantage throughout the playoffs was unfair to the parents of the home team...
* I would like the season to try to accomodate the CITYNAME Pet Parade schedule.
* I am opposed to the unhealthy after-game snack....What happened to the days of orange slices as an athletic snack??....we have enough of a problem in this country with obesity in our youth. Be bold. Be the league that stops the madness.
* ...I felt a bit overwhelmed with all of the games and practices. It would be nice if we dropped the practices as soon as the games start...
* I think there should be practices during the season. Once the games started, there was no time for practice.
* Don't stack the teams. It effects kids for life.
* We seem to suffer the brunt of overzealous coaches. The parents were reprimanded in one game for "having fun."
* The league should just admit that the all star program is for the coaches' kids.
* If at all possible, more games. Some parents may think I'm crazy for writing that.
YES, my friend...some of them do.
But my favorite...
* Eliminate the Dodgers from the choice of names...kids don't like being associated with the Dodgers.
