Youth Baseball

All parents know who to pitch and who not to pitch. We were playing a select team. A select team is one who is put together for the sole purpose of winning, the players are selected by the coach and this is a team that has been together for many years. Same players and coaches. When our starting pitcher struggled the parents all murmured. The second pitcher whom almost beat a select team a week ago same thing. The 5 or so errors committed by these same parents kids does not matter. I guess its the same situation. The other coaches want their kid to pitch every game. They never question when their kid does poorly. Our team is about half kids that didn't have a coach. These kids struggle. With all the rain outs we just haven't been able to practice. This has been a huge issue. Practice is the key to improvements. It is frustrating that these parents get upset when we are dealing with player development. They would just prefer their kids get all the opportunities. Winning helps kids spirits. They know when they are playing well and not playing well. We have a lot of kids that have missed games too. Lack of commitment on the parents side doesn't help.
