[quote=Anonymous]Longtime baseball parent here. Little league can get really crazy- and it is very magnified when it comes to selection of the all star teams. So unfortunately- it is normal. And gets worse and worse until the kids age out of LL…unfortunately.

My advice is to be friendly with parents but talk about anything OTHER than baseball- with the exception of nice things about your kid’s team in general  “the boys played great today!” “the kids are really improving- so many great plays today” blah blah. Nothing else baseball related. If people bring it up with you, just nod and smile & then change the subject to something else. If people are gossiping, politely excuse yourself. It can be helpful to sit away from others (greet everyone and be friendly, but then go sit down away from the group).

A lot of these parents get very wrapped up in things, and often this will backfire later on. Best for yourself and your kid to be the “they are so nice, but are quiet and tend to keep to themselves” type of parents. [/quote]
