Time for the coaches to vent!!!!! I'll start...
Parents who complain that a player made an error even though their DD couldn't throw a strike
in the Fall of 2011, then leave after the season without even saying they are leaving!
Parents who complain about their DD (2nd year 14u) getting a reduction in playing time even though she struck out 22 of 36 plate appearances. They say she wasnt given a fair shot
Parents who say "good try" 80-100 times a game, even if it really wasn't a good try.
Parents who say nothing all game until their DD comes up to the plate, move up to the fence, and barrages the poor kid with criticisms and 200 things to remember while up to bat, all in the effort to motivate the kid to do great things.
Parents that pull their kid to the side and barrate them behind the dugout etc and then expect them to go out and perform to the best of their ability.
I'm sensing a lot of complaints about parents. I've always said coqxhing youth sports is great until you have to deal with the parents.
I don't have any complaints about my 2012 team parents. I hope that means that by the 4th season, the parents who were problems find ways off the team.
