    Travel Ball: Sick of other Parents & the Coach

    My DD's team is full of issues for me. A coach who is, simply put, a moron that would ruin the program if it weren't for a few good men, including myself, helping to hold it together. The guy dislikes me and plays passive - aggressive games, such as not answering my phone calls, text messages...
