[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't begrudge coaches (in any sport) starting/playing their own children AT ALL.  It is a huuuuuuuuuge time committment to coach, the least they should get is a perk for their own kid.

You want your kid to play more? Make them a better player or volunteer to help out.[/quote]

So it’s ok for the coaches’ kids, at age 8, to play the entire game every game and have other kids ride the bench except for the one inning they play left field? I hope you never coach anything. [/quote]

What did the coach say when you brought it up? [/quote]

Both coaches, both seasons, said they’d “try” to play all the kids more. When I brought the issue to the Commissioner after nothing improved, he said he’d look into it. Nothing ever changed.[/quote]

This is kind of important info that you should have included in your OP. The fact that you bubbled it up and nothing changed doesn't say anything good about the organization as a whole, unless your perception was wildly off. When people bring playing time discrepancies up to my commissioner DH, he immediately emails the coach in question.[/quote]
