[quote=Anonymous]No advice on how to convince him that LL isn’t a demotion but I think it’s important to know when to pull the plug on a team. Sounds like you need a change. Moving to another team is tricky because you could just be trading (and paying) for a whole new set of issues. If you find a team/organization you can stomach or even really like, stay put and count your blessings. All it takes is going to a tryout to remind you of all the awful characters you could be interacting with. Someone on another thread said “the grass is brown everywhere” and IMO that nails it.

If your son loves baseball but there aren’t any travel teams that are good fits (or you don’t have the stomach to go through the search process), downshift to LL and find a good coach to do skill work. Once the dust has settled maybe consider travel ball again but do your best to only try out for teams that you’ve vetted as much as possible—understand who they play, find someone who knows the boys/parents, try to get a sense of who the coaches are etc. [/quote]
