[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest to god, just quit. I’m sure you have better things to do with your time.[/quote]

OP here. Our kid wants to and we’ve agreed that makes sense at end of fall season. Baseball, btw. Cant compete with coach’s kids and all the other nonsense. Has been rough on everyone and we don’t need it in our lives. It just gets old after awhile. [/quote]

It honestly sounds like you have a terrible coach. Having a coach like this can really damage the self-esteem. There are so many options for baseball teams at your son’s age. [/quote]

I have three kids, all of whom play baseball or softball and they have been on and seen many, many other teams over the years. I have never seen kids mostly sit the bench unless they were literally an outlier in terms of skill. Never. Now, if the coach lied, that's an issue. But assess your kid objectively and find a team where his skill level matches that of the team. None of my kids have ever joined a team without DH or me, or later the kids when they were older, asking the coach where he or she saw our kid fitting into the team. One coach told DH my daughter likely would not get a lot of playing time but that was only after we asked--he did not volunteer that up front. So she did not join. If we misread things or the coach lied, I would have no problem leaving mid season. [/quote]
