Painfully obvious they put all the weak players on one team
My son is 10 and there are only 4 teams in our league. We’ve had about 7 games now and they’ve lost by 10 at least 5 of them. I don’t have hope that they will win 1 game this season. I just feel like it’s not good for their confidence
:( For all the kids on the team.
Also it’s so hard watching each game as a parent. Of course I’m always positive, cheering them on. And they’ve gotten better at cheering each other on, focusing on the little wins (when someone gets on base even for a walk) so that is a plus.
I don’t think I can do anything about this as it’s been like this for years. But it’s so painfully obvious they didn’t put ANY travel players on our team and stacked at least 2 of the teams.
Not sure exactly what I want from posting this but just maybe to say it seems so unfair and daddyball ish. The president of our league seems like a good guy, but just makes me wonder how they are picking teams. Some of the coaches I’ve dealt with are super competitive to the point where you can’t tell they DGAF about the kids having fun.
That said, I think my kid is having fun. Not going to lie saying that it doesn’t hurt when they lose every single game by a landslide, but what can I do.
