Who's got who now??????

Only December 14th and the drama begins???

Hello Everybody (Did the levee break?)

Dr. Phil aka KLFC96 aka Yours Truly will explain what's going on please read below:

First I would like to say I love it,"BRING ON THE DRAMA"!! It's probably true that these parents are leaving because something happen or was said they didn't like. (Notice I said the P word) People are getting upset on this thread (Boo Hoo <<<< ) Did you honestly think it was going to last? This is how travel ball works in our beloved softball world folks. Parents upset thinking they know more than the coach probably never played any kind of sports activity in their lives. Mad at the world because martial status at home is screwed up then takes DD and leaves the team. Poor kid just made another 12 or 14 new friends, but mama and daddy said we got to go! (I rather be in and orphan myself you might have a better chance of staying longer).

Right now I think it's too much movement in the 10's/12's/14's level wait until 16 at least. What are we teaching these kids? Listen: Good player leaves good team goes to another good team then two or three good players leave that team now what? You are in the same position you were in when you left your original team doesn't that make any sense? Now your kid is what I call or consider a HOBO hopping from team to team. LMAO this is ridiculous: Power Surge won Nationals , Jynx runner up, Firecrackers 4th, Revenge & CA96 tied for 7th, CA Rebels finish 9th, Bomb Squad 13th, etc.... These teams place in the top 20 in the United States of America not only the 88 teams that were there but the whole United States people and parents still aren't happy WOW!!! Look people everybody can't be on a national winning team and who cares as long as your DD does great and gets a free ride!!!! Don't let these certain organizations fool you to coming to their team and your DD rides the bench or better yet becomes an average player.


Merry Christmas to all!!!

Looks like someone started their weekend a little early...

Powersurge...yes is a great team they proved it,now in 14 look out 95 teams!!
Spaz ask your coach pitcher needs to play when team goes dark..where else she gonna go!!
Clean up time will tell which pitchers pitch.
goes back too keeping pitchers happy or is it parents happy.
Damn Parents Screw everything up!!

Exactly my point, time will tell so don't assume that one pitcher (i.e your reference to the Rebels pitcher) will or won't get pitching time because of something that may or may not happen with a pitcher on another team who may or may not be practicing with us for a few months while her team is dark.

As to your reference to whether it's the actual pitcher(s) or parents to keep happy, I think it's both. Pitchers need time in the circle, how much time is subjective and obviously everyone is different, has different opinions, etc. Will pitchers and their parents have to evaluate how much pitching and playing time their child will receive on ANY team and have to make choices, absolutely. Seriously, why are we playing in the first place -- most are trying to provide the best environment for our kids to grow mentally, learn the skills and receive the playing time needed to advance to the next level. If a parent isn't concerned with these things, then IMO they aren't looking out for their kids, pitchers parents or any other position for that matter.

That's not to say that there aren't a lot of prima dona pitchers and parents who try to hold a coach/team hostage because they think the sun rises and sets on their DD, I just don't think there are any on our team. JMO, perhaps should be posted on the other thread.. Have a great day everyone!

It is amazing to me to see all the uneducated people making statements that absolutely makes no sense to anyone. Who cares who went where or what team won what. I think all of you have lost sight of the fact that these are impressionable young women playing a game (A GAME) and its not life or death whether they win or lose or what team they are playing for. I know it is a cliche but this is a game and games are supposed to be fun for the kids but unfortunately its the PARENTS and not the kids that are the problem.

Agree with the first part of your post except for the part about fun for the kids ? my feelings are if you want to have fun you should have stayed in rec ball.
