Watching the entire history of South Park with Artomatic should be on everyone's bucket list.

Parents and coaches are their own worst NEMESIS!!

The above thread does not paint the Nemesis Elite organization in poor light. Nor does it paint any other organization in a poor light. Rather, it is indicative of the passion associated with the younger divisions (12u & 14u) and the poor judgement of a passionate public board novice.

Nonetheless, the Nemesis Elite organization discourages its members from posting emotionally charged comments on boards. These attempts do not result in a positive outcome for those involved. Further, such behavior is not aligned with the "Positive Sports Parenting" guidelines issued by the organization. There are better ways to resolve conflict.

Nemesis Elite parents are encouraged to direct concerns to their respective team managers and then to the organization so that appropriate steps can be taken with constructive communications to other organizations and/or event organizers.

Nemesis Elite will conduct a review of the aforementioned events to insure that Nemesis Elite teams win with grace and are sensitive to their opponents.

Excellent public statement.

I agree with your policy advising parents against making posts like that. But I also believe that coaches who behave badly should be called out when there is specific, verifiable evidence. They usually won't change, but at least parents can have a heads up when shopping teams.

Now why does the head of an organization want to intrude on the Freedom of speech rights of parents? Doesn't he know or realize there's bucketeers waiting to hear the drama?.. Most of us spend too much time between work & the ball fields thereby limiting us from the mindless garbage that is scripted reality TV shows & if other organizations follow suit that'll be cutting back on my entertainment

Unfortunately, clock management is part of the game.
Do you know who feels good when your coach doesn't properly manage the clock?
The other team.

Agree. "Stalling" is part of a lot of sports. As long as what they are doing is with in the rules, it's hard to argue against it.

Although, I feel "stalling" shouldn't go overboard (I know everyone can interpret 'overboard' differently). Stay classy, Bucketeers.

I would say changing out your catcher with a player in the field that needs to get geared up or faking an injury is going overboard.

Calling time and talking to your pitcher or sending a sub. into the game is part of the game.

JMHO
