Parents do not need an explanation about the batting order.
I agree 100%. The think it's ridiculous when parents get in a huff about their kid going from batting 2nd to 7th.
I think that many parents make the mistake of equating a volunteer coach with a paid high school teacher. I find the most successful coaches live by the mantra "if your daughter has any issues or problems I am available 24/7. If you have any issues or problems - I don't care."
I have seen so many parents make meetings with coaches over the slightest perceived slight. What they never realize is that the content of these 'meetings' do come out, and often the other parents get a good chuckle out of it. They also risk having their child get labelled with the 'CWP' tag. There was at least one girl trying out for DD2's team this year that didn't make it because she "Comes With Parent".
