My daughter plays on a ASA rec ball team in The north OC. She is on the 14U team. In the middle of our game, our coaches allowed their 12U travel ball team to take the field and bench our 14U rec ball girls. As I watched the travel ball team load up into the dugout, I couldn't believe my eyes. They actually had their 12U travel ball team playing the rec ball game while the girls sat and watched. The parents were upset. The umpire watched as this team took over in their practice clothes and played the game. They even batted while our rec ball team sat there and watched. There must have been some sort of agreement between our coach and the other teams coach before this happened, because the switch took place so fast. The coaches response was "We are all in the same league" and "The other team is 'like" a travel ball team, so we put travel ball girls in there." Other than this being unethical, is it even allowed? Confused....
Aside from our girls not having an opening day ceremony, none of us parents having a game schedule, and not getting a receipt for fees paid, this has got to be the worst feeling.
