Care to argue fine points online much? Tell me again how I feel...If you think that there has to be flexibility at times, then you don't like what this coach is doing. There was no flexibility that I saw in the original post.

Or some people assumed that the coach is a barbarian and throughout facilitating with common sense.(I assume the coach in question wasn’t a Barbarian and would allow interaction for extenuating circumstances), this thread is being addressed by the wrong constituency…
Some kids may not like it, some might. Some might be willing to put up with it if everything else that goes with it is a plus. Outside of safety concerns, any other parental concerns on the subject is just a parent thinking they play more of a role in how their kid does in a game then they actually do. As a matter of fact, many kids may actually play better if their parent isn't around (even if the parent has never done a thing to cause this...). Again that depends on the kid..Or some people assumed that the coach is a barbarian and throughout facilitating with common sense.
Kind of made me chuckle to read people would think the coach is going to let the players dehydrate and not allow them enough water. Or that people would think the coach is going to let the entire team sit there 8 hour game break at the field without planning something better for the players. But that's okay people had questions or uncertainty that lead the conversation further. Good!
Perhaps add disclaimers like 100% detail not added to this original post.
imo This was pretty simple tho
Addressing the topic about not allowing parents to interact with the players.
Maybe should have said 'because it causes a bunch of extra crap that the Coach has to deal with and can affect the players also.' That would have rattled the cage immediately LOL
I can understand why some parents would not like that. On the other hand absolutely understand why some players really like that especially the coach doesn't have to deal with junk every weekend.
... while in another thread is talking about how obnoxious the fans are watching the games... imagine that.
Let me run this by the crew. DD is the no. 1 pitcher on her team right now. Her coaches don't work with pitchers, and are very upfront about not knowing about, or wanting to get involved in pitching mechanics.Some kids may not like it, some might.

You do what you want obviously but depending on the kid, that could lead to her looking over to you every time she throws a bad pitch..which is a bad look. I realize pitching is special, but I am my kid's sole hitting/fielding instructor. Should I tell her to keep her posture at the plate every time I see her come out of it or if she is not moving her feet correctly on a GB should I yell out that? What if every parent did that during the game (which is not too far from the truth sometimes..)? IMO, as hard as it is (and believe me, and you know me, it is very hard..not following this is what ultimately led to the infamous water bottle incident..) a parent's job is done once a tournament starts (and for the most part a coach's job is too at least in terms of instruction...) Games are for the kids..Let me run this by the crew. DD is the no. 1 pitcher on her team right now.

Since I attend all her lessons as taxi driver and catcher, and work with her away from lessons, there are few mechanical flaws (bad habits) I can see when she pitches. A couple of these are easily remedied by a quick reminder. I'm not going to shout this out to her on the mound, so is it appropriate to approach the dug out and give her a quick reminder?
Edit: I'm not talking about entering the dug out. Just grabbing her attention for a quick second.
I'm not worried about my DD as much. She never looks at me when pitching, plus I try to stay out of eye sight just in case cuz I tend to look miserable no matter what is happening.

Yeah you are horrible human...lol!! I guess the next progression will be for her to be able to adjust herself..I'm not worried about my DD as much.

The problem is, she has a flaw with her change up delivery, and when she does it the results aren't pretty (meatball right down central). If I was a different parent/coach I would be very happy if this got fixed as soon as possible. lol. It only happens in game situations (nerves I presume), so it's been difficult to fix in practice.
As of now I've been telling her when I see it happen (generally just have to tell her once), but after reading some of these posts, I feel like I've been crossing the 38th parallel.
I'm just commenting to avoid doing what I'm supposed to be doing honestly.
Or the little princess is completely embarrassed their parent is hoveringif your dad tosses you a water bottle between innings you are an entitled princess who is immediately shunned.
