    Good to know 👍

    Walkup song

    We haven't ran across this before, I'd guess we've only encountered (and use) about 5 to ten seconds of walk up music. Though for teams that also announce the player and number, it may take longer I reckon.

    Did I do the right thing? (leaving a team)

    (EDIT: To answer your question about why so many coaches during practice, I don't really have an answer lol. I suppose because the other parents kids coached the other rec team, they're allowing them on field since their daughters are on that team???) Not all of them, about 6 of the different...

    Did I do the right thing? (leaving a team)

    They were going to play for the rest of the year, then hold tryouts because they were losing 5 players, DD being one of them. I think I've stated before, that our reason for leaving had nothing to do with where DD bats or what position she plays, and I probably shouldn't have even included it...

    Did I do the right thing? (leaving a team)

    Fair play, though we've certainly enjoyed playing at the larger, more accommodating parks that host the tournaments compared to the local, less than stellar fields we encountered with rec. DD could easily practice daily with multiple 10u teams merely because of relationships formed through...

    Would you rather teams just schedule friendlies? Curious as to why you feel that way, and what other alternatives would you suggest?

    Did I do the right thing? (leaving a team)

    Only when not allowed, such as tournaments. But yes, you had around 5 to 8 coaches on field during practices. One pitched in college, and I never understood why she didn't want to go ahead and get a player or two familiar with pitching. Moving up to 10u after the fall, it could've been...

    Did I do the right thing? (leaving a team)

    Thanks for the response. Even though I didn't agree with some of the coaching decisions, I understood it was the HC's/their team and was totally up to them, and positions/ batting order was never part of the discussions I had with the coach. DD never cared, she knew she'd put in work no matter...

    Did I do the right thing? (leaving a team)

    Thanks. I understand that this won't be an isolated incident in DD's life. We had really hoped that once DD and I voiced our concerns to HC, that effort would be made to correct it because it is our jobs as parents to mold their minds and hearts. We teach DD that she never has to put up or...

    Did I do the right thing? (leaving a team)

    Incorrect. We left the team because my daughter felt like the didn't fit in with the other teammates, and often times was treated badly by her teammates. I think you both completely glossed over this in the original post; perhaps I didn't make it clear. No one is "bashing" her former team. Her...

    Did I do the right thing? (leaving a team)

    This will be a little long so bear with me... My DD plays 8u travel, with a great attitude and is very easy to get along with and be around. Our only expectations and goals for her at this time is to have fun playing better competition than rec, and to grow and develop with a team that has...

    Hello from SC!

    Hey everyone! Been lurking on here for awhile, decided to join in on the discussions. DD is a 2012 8u travel player, showed a lot of skill during her few seasons of rec ball and she wanted to be part of TB after being invited to watch a friend's team during a tournament. Look forward to...
