[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ALL up through AA so far - kids are placed by grade and elementary school, unless they have a special request. Coaches we have had have all be fair and didn’t favor their kids - they are volunteers. Nothing is stopping you from volunteering. [/quote]

Lots of things prevent one from volunteering to coach, volunteering on other things sure, but not everyone can coach. Just because you can coach does not mean you should make your son who’s below average at best to play the best positions all the time and treat other kids as merely your son’s training mates. [/quote]

Well, you don't want to be gross about it but you do get to hedge in favor of your child - that's how it works.  You're welcome to coach/volunteer too, we can always use help.

Oh trust me, I help out A LOT.  And oh I agree of course coach's kids get a certain degree of favorable treatment that's understandable, but oh boy the ABR coach I am questioning is very much "gross about it".  [/quote]

What level are these kids playing that you’re talking about? 8 yo??[/quote]

Shall I post name(s) here?  Certainty want to!  [/quote]

Of course not, I’m just trying to get a sense for what age group you’re talking about. Kids are playing in the majors at 10 and there’s no draft before that. So kids are placed on the same teams They’ve always been on with their friends. Yes in some cases a gaggle of them all played travel. If you see issues reach out to the commissioner. There’s a new ABR
 commissioner this year and he’s fantastic. Let him know your concerns.  [/quote]

Reach out for what?  Season has started, nothing will change.  [/quote]

And there you have it. If you don’t like something, reach out, volunteer, do something. The attitude of things will never change perpetuates things never changing.[/quote]

Yeah, no parent is going to complain to the commissioner at this point, team rosters are set.   Complaining now will only get your kids retaliated.  It sucks.  Maybe the older age groups are better managed, that's why some of you may have had good experiences.  [/quote]

Shoot an email to your kid's coach and ask what is up with the team formations?  It looks like team A has a bunch of travel players and team B has 1 or 2  How hard is that?  Start with the coach.  Copy the league folks on the email.  It's not hard.
