[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um OP I just thought I wrote this. Exact same scenario for us to the point where I’d be outed if I posted any more. My son has adhd and I don’t think the coaches could handle him. [/quote]

Dugout behavior matters.[/quote]

Of course it does. But many very talented athletes have issues and good coaches know how to get the best out of them. My son has many issues and isn’t very “smart.” But he is an excellent baseball player, and it’s always been an area for him that’s easy up until this team. The kids that make these LL teams try out often several times and are generally very competent players. They are picked based on their overall performance during the season. There’s not really any valid reason for not playing any of them. [/quote]

The last 2 kids or so are usually courtesy pics in my kids’ league. Kids of board members or coaches usually. No sour grapes as my kids made the teams when deserved, but it is true.

Behavior wise I think it depends…at 12, sitting and pouting after a strikeout or being silly is one thing…vs doing something dangerous or being mean to teammates or hurting the experience of other kids is a bigger issue. Not saying your kid did that, just giving examples. [/quote]

This is true, for sure. And those kids often get more play time than they should. My son with adhd is neither and had the best batting stats and is a really good pitcher. No, it wasn’t behavior like that at all, actually. It was not looking “dialed in” when the coach was lecturing/coaching at 7 pm for 25 min blocks. [/quote]

Not looking “dialed in”? 🙄 ridiculous. Some coaches have personality preferences for sure. My younger kid is loud and aggressive- coaches either love it or hate it, no in between. My older kid is quiet and serious- again, coaches either like it, or he gets overlooked due to not seeming engaged or enthusiastic enough at times. 🤷‍♀️[/quote]
