Example:
An All Star coach from one league approaching players from our league and offering them any spot on their team if they will leave and move over. I personally watched the same local league pull 4 players from one All Star team to another league to play on their All Star team. The leagues had not even started yet and the teams were set. There would be no opportunity for players in their own league who have developed to earn a spot. Thats not right. Travel ball is travel ball. Its the wild wild west. Im already hearing the stories of girls moving and switching teams with no loyalty. I expect that there. Not in a rec league.
2nd Example:
As soon as another league got wind of players being poached a 2nd league came in to play the same card. In the end our league lost 9 out of 11 Gold Level All Stars.
If this is allowed then there needs to be a rule change. There should be some sort of district lines drawn like Little League. Those lines can be redrawn and adjusted as needed over time.
