You know, there are a lot of people complaining about teams on this website. In my opinion, as an eleven year and still going fastpitch player, this all is insulting. I'm in High School, and through my play the one thing I have seen is the parents playing their own game outside of ours. The game is about the players. We hate to see when our parents stir up drama. A team is a team...that INCLUDES the coaches, players, and quite frankly the PARENTS! Think about it, how do you all think we feel when we look up in the stands and see our parents in their own little mind game with others. It affects our game. If Glory Adkins plays in a 14U tournament, what does that matter to anyone other than the people on the team? I agree if they are a new team with new faces, they need to work into their build up on games. But it really doesn't matter. Let the kids play and do their best. I bet if you ask any one of them how it feels out there on that field when they are all connecting as one they will tell you its the greatest feeling in the world! However ask them when they aren't as one how it feels especially when its because of parents....they will tell you it's the worse. Just let the kids play their game...for some its their life, I know it's mine.
