One ineligible player would have been bad enough, but they had multiple. I do give the organization credit for reporting it right away. I think I'd ban the coaches and every team member instead of the entire organization. Definitely sends a strong signal though. It'll be interesting to see if PGF and USA softball follow the ban.

Wow. Thanks for posting and not one of those things that happens by accident. At least they did turn themselves in after the fact.

Extra Innings is saying that the other team is the one that brought up the illegal players. Either way, the coaches had to have known. Almost every coach we've talked to wants the birth certificate. You can't tell me they didn't see the birth year....

Just curious, where does it say the "other team" in the article. All I see is the following:

Triple Crown Sports was contacted by team representatives following completion of the game notifying that they had played two age ineligible players in the semis and then one in the championship game. Both were over the legal age to play in this age group.

With that said, I would think the other team would be the ones to turn them in but not reading it like that. Of course, I read alot of things wrong the first few times.....;)

So this only involved 2 players and 2 games. Sounds like they brought in a couple of ringers. Many of their teams are now in limbo for the rest of the summer. Know one that is set to go to PGF Nationals and now is not sure. I suspect many will break away to other orgs or independent teams ending the JAX Storm organization.
