My Rules for Guesting:
1. Guest player/family does not pay
2. Team provides uniform for guest player
3. Guest player invited to practice in the week leading up to tourney
4. Guest player will bat last in the line-up, each and every game
5. Unless filling a missing position, Guest player will play plenty of innings but probably less than paying players
6. Rules will be shared ahead of time with entire team and guest player/family
That's just how I expect things to work. Whenever someone asks my DD to guest, I ask all these questions. I don't want the other parents mad at me and I want to clearly understand what to expect. I also don't want the other parents mad at the coach. Been there, it sucks for everyone and have long-term repercussions, in some cases.
We'll make our decision to guest or not after you explain to me what your system is. Basically, before you accept ask questions and understand how DD will be used. It may or may not be a good experience if you go in unknown.
