[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Each of my kids has had a season where their team won every game and honestly, I didn't love it even though they did. You get nothing out of that.[/quote]

My daughter just had a season like this. Her little league softball team won every game. They had by far the best pitcher. My daughter was probably 2nd-3rd best in the 6 team league, but barely got to pitch because the dad of the other girl was the coach and pitched her all the time. Anytime the game was close, the other girl pitched all 4 or 5 innings. Mine was the only other girl to pitch on the team, getting an inning or rarely two in a blow out.

Both girls made all-stars but in different age groups. [b]My daughter was told she wasn’t going to get to pitch because she didn’t get enough  experience during the season. [/b][/quote]

This is insanity. Having seen the difference between Little League's participation rules and the independent rec league participation rules, I don't know why anyone would go Little League for rec. If your kid wants to sit bench, then you can do that playing travel and get more practice time and game reps. If you want to play rec, play in a league where they actually want to develop players, and that doesn't seem to be at least some of the area Little Leagues.[/quote]
