We are leaving to play babe ruth and travel ball. Sadly I believe in what little league instills but this group of directors are lacking to say the least. Proof is in the dismal performance of all the All Star teams...1 win in all age brackets. Clearly shows that talented kids are looking for quality leagues elsewhere. Is there is a way to switch leagues and be eligible for tournament play? #22https://www.blogger.com/profile/12950283178381132847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550768330707380538.post-57401544479063878862015-09-15T17:53:32.452-07:002015-09-15T17:53:32.452-07:00What action can be taken if the problem exist with...What action can be taken if the problem exist with the local board of directors. How is one able to make a boundary request when the Board of Directors are the problem and most certainly will not approve or forward any such request to Williamsburg.<br />thank youunknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719267907234628029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550768330707380538.post-63121329348959308322012-07-06T15:34:51.836-07:002012-07-06T15:34:51.836-07:00I have had a few parents ask me about what it take...I have had a few parents ask me about what it takes to change leagues.

I know not specifically who you are but I know who you are and where you are in your life, again not specifically. But emotionally. From the time your kids started to play sports, you want what is best for them but are you willing to fight for it?<br /><br />I don't know what is wrong with your situation would you like to tell me and maybe I can tell you what I did?

In the past I have seen those lose the opportunity that they had earned and to say it did matter is far from the truth. <br /><br />I agree 100% with your second paragraph.<br /><br />I also agree with the 3rd paragraph however, walking away from something that is WRONG where there are measures in place to rectify these issues, just doesn't sit with me well. <br /><br />I am sorry if I offended you, that was not my intent. I just feel there are other avenues to pursue in order to help the youth on our South County fields.<br /><br />Respectfully submitted,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550768330707380538.post-33060095175881099732012-07-06T14:20:53.607-07:002012-07-06T14:20:53.607-07:00I have played baseball although many years ago. I ...I have played baseball although many years ago. I was selected to the All-star team again mind you in 1973. My town had one team and we thought we were "IT." My parents would not let me play on the team. I resented them for years but I got over it and went on to play division one baseball from 1980 to 1984 at Cal. It made me want to show everyone including my parents that I did have IT. I don't know the relevance or even how I ended up on this blog. Best of luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550768330707380538.post-7628423390316730022012-07-06T13:59:59.551-07:002012-07-06T13:59:59.551-07:00If a child plays the game to be on an All-star tea...If a child plays the game to be on an All-star team, then maybe the child should find a sport that they have passion for not it's result. Love can not be replaced by a validation or inclusion. <br /><br />My child has never made an all star team so I'm not sure of the emotional importance. In youth scoccer it is the parents who play the game harder in the bleachers or in a dark ally than the kids anyway. The concept of the best of the best is fine but we all know the parents who wheel and deal are there for their specific needs. Yes their kids make all-stars but did they really. Their kids know who they are and how they end up there.<br /><br />My kids played local rec. soccer and had fun until they played 11u. The parents stared playing the political games so we went to travel. It's about choice and making the move that best fits your families needs, not just the childs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550768330707380538.post-21773288585131971102012-07-06T11:51:06.577-07:002012-07-06T11:51:06.577-07:00Once again, I hate to harp on this, but if things ...Once again, I hate to harp on this, but if things are bad you must take them head on! Running from a situation that is not right, is not the answer! A real lesson for the kids would be to face the reason of unhappiness and take a stance. Take it on, head to head. In life we are faced with many avenues that challenge us. Those that have the determination to take them on head to head, for the right reasons, are the one that are true leaders in life. Worrying about what can happen if you take the right steps and fail only create an environment of uncertainty. Even an attempt to change things, whether they become fail or not, will make things better. Better for your player, better for all players! Eliminating All Stars from you player may not seem a big deal to the parent but it is HUGE for the player, whether they state that or not.Lost opportunities of this for a player that desires this could possible take the love of the game away, creating uncertainty if they even want to continue. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR CHILD'S DREAMS!!! Remember, what seem miniscule to us,may be very devastating to the what your kid really feels inside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
