Personally I'd not cave in to unreasonable demands. Polite but firm, let's move on. What a stupid thing to create drama over.
I guess I could tell her that she can have number, and just have two with same number (shirts have names as well, so no problem confusing them, and this girls is about half the size of the other girl)? Did that my first year of coach pitch, does anyone really care at this level if two kids have same number (as long as opposing score keeper is made aware).
my thoughts exactly, and she acknowledged "that it probably seems silly to you, but it is important to us" I have a hard time believing girl will even care in a week. i just have this feeling she is going to take it further. dad already said he is complaining to president about schedule issues (he sees it as boys v girls thing, it is not really, yes boys play on saturdays, but girls have a field available, issue is fielding teams on Saturdays, but I am all for parents going to BOD to make certain girls get equal consideration just on principle).
i really felt like saying then volunteer, but I know he works weeknights, so pretty much a no go, and he has coached in past (and was a pretty decent guy, we were the two coaches in coach pitch one year, and we worked well together when it came to our games with each other, etc.).
