    Is my Softball Commissioner Nuts?

    We were a 12u last season and our best pitchers was an 11 year old. She has good enough stuff to move up to 13U with us and our commish is saying that she can't play up to 13u because she now qualifies as a 12U. This is crazy right.

    Classification vs. Actual Age on Roster

    I have a team that is all 13U eligible. Can we be a 14u team and participate in a 13u tournament we found, all girls are 13 years old. Or because we are classified as 14u can we NOT play down? Thank you, hope my question makes sense.

    Coaching Issues

    Thank you all for your honest feedback. I think that my original post might have been a little "Dictator" like, and I didn't mean it to but, I think I was just frustrated at the time I wrote the post. I absolutely am all about player development above all. Especially having most girls on the...

    Coaching Issues

    good point will take that into consideration. I guess the frustrating part is that when we started, the 3 coaches and myself were in agreement that this is NOT house league. But the parents need to know that their issues have to go through me. I will discuss with the coaches when needed, but I...

    Coaching Issues

    Hello all. Need some advice on coaching and managing. Jumping into 12U FT Travel and we have some issues after our first fall Tournament. I am the manager and have a head coach that has the same expectations as me, we are "cautiously optimistic" that we can complete well. The other coaches...
