I think you meant to say 99.9%.

But the question was why you post something in the first place? If your feelings were hurt just move on?

My talented kid should be able to play on a public school varsity team without pandering to these clowns. It’s a warning to all parents. It’s better if they’ve never ever heard of you. Never play for primetime and hope your kid still makes the team.

Are you saying kids can't make YHS team if they don't play for primetime?

Its something people like to spout, but its not the truth if you look at the roster. The best kids on the team don't even go to PT...

Your mileage may vary. It depends on the coach. Our experience has been three coaches in 4 seasons. Only one was good. The communication is nonexistent. The scheduling is a hot mess. They over schedule their facility to make extra money, meaning the players who pay can’t use the lanes. The seasons are shorter than most other teams, yet they charge just as much or more than others. It’s all for “the hope” that your child will make it to a college team.
We are not angry parents because our kid was cut. We are current parents frustrated at rundown facilities that we’re overpaying for because of a name. Most of the things I’ve read here are true. I can name every single person being talked about (but I won’t) because it’s pretty common knowledge. Baseball families talk.

We switched to another team and get 4 practices a week and the Sunday games for the same price as primetime. Primetime was one outdoor practice very very far from their facility and one indoor practice that would get cancelled half the time. On the days it wasn’t cancelled the team was squished into a tiny space.

This is our experience as well...

Sounds like Primetime got $1,700 each from a fresh crop of suckers with absolutely no clue how predatory, MAGA, and toxic they are. Any new aces gossip? I know another coach of children got kicked out of a game. Literally, where do they find these degenerate coaches?

I hate to pile on but this program seems to have no direction or moral compass. 14u was at sports at the beach last month and the coach was, well, abusive towards his players and that’s putting it mildly. Sadly that wasn’t the most unfortunate part.

They were down by a bunch after the 2nd inning Saturday in Pool Play and quit. Literally quit the game and said they wouldn’t go back on the field - even before any mercy rule was in effect. Everyone was stunned. (My guess is they’ll be banned from ever returning - every 14u team in the bracket complained to the director.) It’s clear they were doing the math and thinking if it didn’t get any worse they would have a shot of making it to bracket play on Sunday.

Well, they got what they deserved. Ended up in the consolation game. So, not only did they end up in consolation bracket - their coach eliminated his teams ability to compete and god forbid PLAY BASEBALL!
I’m sure those families were happy to travel 3 hours to play 2 games.

Sat May 3 (14u O’Leary) check gamechanger and you can fact check for yourself. No tournament has a 2 inning mercy rule.

Any recent feedback on Stars?

That's too bad. I know some kids who play for that team. They are good kids.

They are decent, but bring in ringers for tournaments and let the regular kids sit. They also only bat 10 but keep a large roster.

If you are a parent paying money and your team brings in taxi players that start over your child in a tournament that’s a good sign it’s time to leave.

Didn't one of the coaches just get arrested for getting caught with an underage girl?
