Little back ground on myself I was the Manager and Head Coach for this past Spring Rec Ball 8u season and a successful l one I was really happy for the girls and my team and I’m also one of the Head coach for a 14u travel team. Coaching for 8 yrs Rec and Travel ball. Anyways this past weekend my 7yr old kid the youngest in the all star silver team was pulled out of the game for holding the ball in RF and confused on where to throw the ball I’m sure she was thinking throw to 2nd maybe , 1st base maybe , maybe pitcher anyways she should not hold the ball….. no runner advancing to score or advancing to take a second base, a few batters later we had a play at first and my kid did not back up the throw all the way at first clearly at this level the runner was already running to 2nd on the wild throw from SS and the 1st base player clearly cant field a short hope….They are only 7 to 9 yr old silver all-star players so my kid gets the ball in to the infield as she should now with the runner not advancing to 3rd base..the manager gets up pulls my kid out of the game… I’m one of the coaches on this team but I decided not to crowd the dough out during the games and just be a parent during the games and help during practices…even if i could help out all the 5 coaches get over tuned by this manager that is a control freak...Anyways I walk to the outside of the dugout and ask my kid to step out of the dugout to check if either my kid is crying or maybe has no clue what just happened….now this is where the drama starts...the manager comes up to me and tells me don’t talk to her right now! I ask her why are you being like this. I would like to see how my kid is doing I’m always in and out of the dugout making sure the girls are okay all the time when there is errors or they have a bad at bat and now ur having a hard time talking to my own kid...she was so fired up now ans i just told my kid go back in the dugout and will talk later just please listen to your manager….. I taken my kid out before this year’s during the regular season for different reasons and to prove the point that I’m not daddy ball I’m hard with both my kids.... I have pulled my kid during the game when a coach parent asked me during the game why her kid is not playing infields more than one inning I actually stopped the game looked in the infield spotted my kid playing 3rd and switched my kid with her kid and looked at my coach and made sure I told her are you happy now. I ve pulled my kid out when she is struggling during her pitching to get another pitcher in…but I have never pulled another player out at this level whether is pitching, holding the ball outfield, crying or anything they are young girls... I let them play the inning out and them possibly make a change on the next inning… back to this all star season all the coached and the team moms parents league know this silver team manager is a control freak she sets the rules in blink of an eye she is a manager with division III experience playing and always lets everybody know about her experience in softball playing and coaching 30yrs I’m happy for her...….. A little back ground on my kid she players t-ball at 5yrs old and played first yr 8u at 6yr old last yr and this year 8u again at 7yrs old. 2.5 years playing softball cause she would like to play just like her older sister and be like her..totatly loves the game.. she still has one more year of 8u softball. Anyways my kid has never played that many inning in the outfield she is normally at 3rd , 2nd , catcher and Pitcher even thou she is the youngest in the team she is a little stud not cause I’m the dad telling you this or cause I’m her hitting coach fielding coach But everybody in the league, parents her pitching coach, managers tell me. I brush it off and respectably tell them thank you she works really hard!! . this season withall-starts she batting amazing with 11 at bats 6 hits 4 walks one Strikeout swinging away of a gold pitcher and she is also the 3rd pitcher on this team with two walks 5 strike outs not sure how many strikes maybe 80% and 20% balls..can I tell you she only pitch 2 innings with this silver team in 5 games our 1st and 2nd avg. about 3 runs walked in to score. I’m am not putting the 1st and 2nd pitchers down they throw a little faster but wild. From the begging I told the manager if my kid can help you in pitching she is all your. I just would like 1 inning per game…for some reason she only put her in 2 inning in 5 games. I’m really fine with it but parents and assnt coaches are questioning the manager now. Can I tell you that’s this managers is a control freak! I decide yesterday after all this I’m not going to help this team with coaching. It’s better for me to step away what do you think? I’m already happy my 7yr old kid has had success and I’m already satisfied with the performance these 5 games. Anything else will be the icing on the cake.


Don't bring it up again, move on, let it go... Don't count her RBI's, AB or ERA, it doesn't matter. Enjoy her and leave the drama, Just enjoy her.

My advise for what it's worth. Number one rule...Don't make it a bad experience. She is young and needs a lot of positive from you. What ever you do and no matter what you think of the coach, don't talk about it in front of her. She listen's to everything you say. You will hear "she's young, let her play, blah blah blah...and there is some truth to that but it's not that cut and dried. If you don't like the coach, don't try to change the coach because that will never work. Find her a place to play that is exciting to her and you for now.
