Yeah. How can you add players to rec team? I can see adding player late, but all the coaches in the league would know about it. There are deadlines, skills assesement, and draft. Right?
I was accused of cheating (indirectly)

Where did you get the 'fake' birth certificates made?
The copies are so worn out it seems like anyone decent at photoshop could fake them.
... and probably do.
How crazy.
I coached 10U rec. You barely know all the girls on your team, and certainly don't know more than 1 or 2 on any other team. Half the girls looks exactly the same, with blonde pony tails. I couldn't even tell my daughter apart from like three girls on the team.

I didn't realize what he was getting at until the parent told me what he said to his team or I would've said something stronger.
Thanks for all the replies. A big part of our wins last week was that our girls finally figured out that it's a lot more fun when they swing their bats and hit the ball. He didn't seem to believe that we improved that much.

Not saying "you", Sluggers ... but birth certificates mean almost nothing. In one of my final years of running rec, we had made some partnerships with other towns and programs. One was shady AF from the get-go. Barring everything else, in the final game before we booted them out, they had HS seniors playing against one of our 12u teams. They produced birth certificates for every one of their players ... well, the players' sisters anyway. I have a certificate and I have a player ... how do I prove that certificate goes to that player?
with the players back to you, call out hey Suzy (substitute name on the BC). if they turn without any delay or prompting, it is 80% chance it is their BC. If the parent yells Suzy, coach X is talking to you, it is probably not suzy on the the field.
radness

gotta learn to use last names when its the sisters birth certificate.Nicknames are always good for those
'red tape' player pickups...
(no thanku on the cheesy fake roster)
Like when older teams have younger players !No one seems to check when they get beat by a younger team... hmmm?!

Photo ID requirements coming soon.
Unfortunately, there is always someone who will do anything to win even if it includes cheating at all levels. No way around it.

The days of using birth certificates in softball should have been over many years ago. Why the sanctions still use them idk.
A state issued I.D. should be more than enough.

Travel soccer (at least in our region, but pretty certain it is near universal now) does do photo IDs, referee checks before each game, they are issued each year by the org the child plays for (so I guess orgs could still cheat, but not individual teams)
not certain what state issued ID most girls would have, as generally license is first photo ID issued with DOB on it (school ids around here only list school name, year and students name generally)
All is pretty ridiculous for a $3 hunk of pastic.
