Do any of your rec leagues have written guidelines concerning special needs players?
Our league doesn't and in the years I've been here, while I'm not privy to conversations that have gone on between the board and coaches or parents and coaches, there has been no communication with the other players on the team.
I'm not arguing for or against having that conversation (although I would choose 'not' in most cases), but there seems to be a code of silence - "We know ZeeZee is special, but we're not going to talk about it and you girls can figure out how to throw the ball to her in a way that gives her a better chance to catch it."
