[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing this could be Babe Ruth or Juniors Little League baseball, where the spread is indeed a mixed 13-15 age group. One thing I’ve noticed from my own son playing travel baseball and watching high school games, the amount of trash talking obnoxiousness is incredible from the high school-aged kids. I don’t know what it is that makes them act like that but it’s a big difference between the middle school set and HS. [/quote] This is true. Which is pretty ironic for those 15 year olds playing Babe Ruth in April. Bc it means they didn't make their HS club[/quote] That sucks. My kid played basketball, and his experience was that the better the team, the more supportive good players were of younger/developing players. The best coaches he had insisted on that culture, and anybody who failed to support teammates ran a lot of laps. One coach made the starting five run a ton of laps after a game because they weren’t cheering for the reserves playing at the end of a blowout win. [/quote] That's right. But PP was talking about Babe Ruth and LL. Which, lets be honest, most kids ages 14-15 that are playing Babe Ruth probably weren't good enough to make their JV team and many probably tried out but didn't make any club teams. So they aren't on one of the "better" teams as you described. [/quote]
