A friend of mine is a 1st time 12u travel coach. Today his team scrimmaged against our other 12u travel team. He knew they were going to lose badly, he had all travel rookies while the other team had been together for 4 years. Needless to say, they looked awful. First batter walked and just keep going to 2nd and it went downhill from there. I can respect his motives, however I feel this will backfire on him. He is a good rec coach but travel is a different world. I talk to him after the game and he thinks that this will make them listen more, I doubt it. His season starts this weekend, I think he will lose these girls very quickly. What does the Forum think?
