Just wrapped up Fall ball last weekend, none of us 3 coaches had a dog in the fight and I enjoyed it very much!

DD's team has 1 HC and 2 AC's. The HC and 1 AC have no children on the team. The other AC does.

Hmmm doesn't appear any one category is overweighted then another
Meaning results look to balance them out

My DD has had all the combinations:
8U - 1st yr 12U: All three coaches with kid on team
2nd yr 12U: HC no kid, AC no kid
14U - HC no kid, AC1 kid, AC2 kid
16U - HC no kid, AC1 no kid, AC2 kid

Of the teams I can think of it's pretty much split down the middle also.

Once DD got to 16Uand 18U the organization made it an important point that no coach will have an kid on the team. However, the college recruiter on the outside of the fence had a kid on the team. Mark H(former DFP'er) helped our teams with college recruiting and coaching too. No kid.

Reasonings to this could be important?!

We're in the "Some coaches have daughters on the team".

We added two recently graduated college softball studs (one is famous). They don't have kids yet. Other coaches have DDs on the team.

Organization provided coaching opportunities for former college players. Let the coaches coach and let the parents parent. No conflict of interest. HC with 20 years of experience is nice to have. Not all former college players do a good job of coaching. It took me 10 years sitting on a bucket learning the intricacies of the game. Why would I expect a 23 year recent college to know how to coach the game right out of the chute. However, they did a good job of running practices and drills.

Lots of parents do a fine job coaching with their kids on the team. I did it for a bunch a years. DD asked me to step away from coaching her team. This is 8th grade. She didn't say it, but I have a feelling some of the girls might have been talking sh$t about me to her and she didn't like it. Just a guess. I also butted heads with the former college player coach, who was very inexperienced. She treated the players differently and got frustrated easily. Didn't help that her 3 year old kid was in the dugout alot!
