When tournament games are time limit games , all players should at least jog (not necessarily sprint) off / on the field. Walking is unacceptable , regardless of the temperature.
give me break,most coaches do this for the power trip,jogging is fine,sprinting is just foolish,the ump could careless for the most part,he gets paid the same,if the game comes up to the time limit,or if you play seven innings.There is a difference between HUSTLE and RUNNING FAST.
The team needs to sprint onto the field every time, hot or not. If for no other reason than to demonstrate to Blue that HIS TIME is valuable and we're not going to waste it.
I can't think if one kid between the ages of 6 and 19 who gets worn out sprinting from the 3rd base dugout to right field.
You don't get acknowledged for hustle, its a baseline expectation.

There is a time to HUSTLE and a time,too not.Sprinting on and off the field is wasted energy,hustling for that flyball to center is,or going to first on a bunt,ect.Jogging off the feild I expect that,but on a dead sprint,no sense!It has nothing to do with commitment to the team,more to the coaches ego,and I believe we all know that there is more beyond softball.For the power trip? I find it odd that you feel that way, but I cannot worry about it. You feel the way you feel. I expect my players to hustle, because that's the environment we coaches have chosen to create with our rec team. We hustle in everything we do, because it demonstrates a commitment to our team, which has more ramifications beyond softball than you might believe. Plus, some of these players may eventually want to play for me in All-Stars.
well,I quess! Back to the orginal post,in rec-ball with the younger girls,I quess a post game awards is fine,but in TB ,being on the team is award enough,point out the good and what we as a team will be working on in next practice after the games.
