How would you know I am a part of the stands as a parent whiny and not on the board or a coach and/or an all star parent??? Don't assume that bad and ugly things don't go on and I am talking about the whole league.
Children immulate what they are taught.
Parents can teach there children it is okay wherever you play on the field instead of a position it is about a team effort. But they don't!,, that is BAD .
As for as the UGLY, How is it a true "All Star" player is passed up because we have to keep Daddy Coach happy. AND I am not saying all coaches kids are not an All Star material....either I have seen ace players overlooked in somehow....hummm how does that happen?
In Both situations Parents will not be able to protect them when it comes to school ball and it is then that the child will feel let down and you did it to them not themselves.
