Showcases and friendlies for most part are awesome, kids playing, coaches coaching and parents cheering.
Tournaments are a diffrent story, in the last 3 tournys we have had parents go onto the field to argue with umps and the coach said nothing to them. We have coaches trash talking, even when losing and Parents just being obnoxious.
Its so bad now our girls only want to play friendlies and showcases now.
My own daughter said to me "The only thing I hate about softball are the screaming parents and the arguing coaches"
Anyways I have played aginst a bunch of you coaches that have classy organizations and I want to say thanks.
Keep it classy fastpitch coaches.
