I've only seen this happen when a player is injured at the tournament and they have to be replaced at the last minute. But just picking up random players to win is pathetic. I can't believe parents would let their kids do that while paying players sit.
My DD was also a 1st year 10U on a 2nd year team and didn't play alot. She also wanted catch and got 1 game the whole season. It was tough to watch her not play as much as the others, but she was still getting good workouts at practices and the team was good so oddly enough she actually...

Having this same issue with one of my DD coaches trying to "fix" her catching. She's been working very hard incorporating everything her catching instructor teaches her so she is very frustrated with her coach trying to change things. She left practice in tears last week because they were...
