[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the OP, but a followup question.  [b]Does this kind of favoritism/politicking extend to high school sports?[/b] Do the high school coaches actually pick and play the best players? Do we just need to stick out the nonsense in Little League to get to a system that is more equitable?[/quote]

Yes, and beyond, even if your kid is the top player on the team. BTDT.[/quote]

Its incredibly frustrating.  But you know what- sports really isn't that important in life.  It isn't.  Our son is now 17 and will be a HS senior in the fall.  They just had a nice playoff run.  But you know what?  Varsity playoff games just didn't seem as important as they did when he was 10.

Just take a deep breath.  It sucks and it likely won't ever change.  You can get involved as an assistant coach- if your kid is really good, they'll want you as an assistant (depending on how the player draft works).

But in the grand scheme of things- it doesn't matter.  Use these as life lessons and try to make the best of it.  Trust me when I say that in 8 years- you won't really care anymore.  [/quote]
