[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've absolutely seen a travel baseball team with several dad and coach friends schedule a tryout , but keep many of their less athletic sons on "their" team.[/quote]

Yeah, coach and assistant coaches kids sutomatically make the team-should they coach your kid and cut yours? Lol[/quote]

The point is the team does not represent the most talented players and nepotism reins.[/quote]

Its not really nepotism if the guy is the coach and his kid is on the team. Now does he need 5 assistant coaches? Hell no, and you avoid those teams.[/quote]

Yeah, the 4-5 or five assistant coaches (all dads) is a HUGE red flag.

But also, by age 11 or 12, you can be on the lookout for teams with coaches that do not have kids.

My kids are 14 and 12 and both are on teams where the coach does not have a child on the team.  Tryouts were competitive for sure, but its 100% fair.  You earn your spot at SS; you earn that clean-up spot in the line-up.[/quote]
