RL is your daughter's old coach Regina. You need to calm down a little, some of these folk's put a lot time and effort because they can't find anyone any better than them. I'd hate to see someone have to pull one of those lil bat's out!

LULUJUJU,

You stirred the pot and got all these people speculating that your daughter was cut off of a team because she didn't get to play the position that she wanted to play. I figured out who you were and chatted a little bit and now they want to get me involved. Then they even knew you from some problem's at the beginning of season. Man, some of these people like to speculate and that was opening up a whole new topic. Was yall's 8U team that good to win every tournament or was the coach just that good? Did you have to pay her? I heard ya'll won so much that the Nederland coaches were so jealous and sold their soul and joined force's with the PN coach and half of the girl's. I'm not really sure but that's what I heard. I heard that coach hollered so much because yall's girl's were hard of hearing. On a serious note I do have a lot of respect for the coaches that take their time to coach and have to put up with all of the BS that goes their way. I've been there and sometimes you think that the reward is not worth it. The problem with 10U is there are several team's and every team need's player's so they get watered down with girl's that should be playing league. But a lot of times some of these girl's develope later and become good player's. So what do you do? I just want to sit back and be as quite as I can and let the coaches handle their job. Sometimes I may not agree with everything but I put the trust into her coaches. My job is to keep working with her on off day's and make sure that the game is fun. When it is not fun anymore than it's time to hang it up. The coaches have a lot to do with that part, too.

Yes indeed tappedout!! Our 8u team was that good!! And one of the major factors was that your daughter was a member of the team...Hope she is doing well now..We could have been alot better with a little better coaching!!  LOL  Just glad we had the girls with the natural physical abilities...I wasn't trying to stir the pot and make people think that i was some disgruntled parent that his daughter got cut off some team...I was simply trying to make a simple point that I was and still am disappointed with the QUALITY of coaching around here...Let me know when your daughter plays as I would love to come watch her play!!  Take care

I can see the point (not necessarily the way it is posted though) LULU the majority of the ones replying to you have gone through the process and their own kids and/or the ones they coached play college ball now because of them!

You have a young player so I am not sure if you know the amount of work that goes into the recruiting process, so yes, your post does make some offended.

LULU, I see no problem discussing this but things were getting too personal. You basically said there were no "good" coaches in the area, so of course people are going to be offended. Have you seen everyone and why do you believe that? What are the specific problems as you see it. You talk about kids and coaches that are not A-Ball material, but won't time take care of that. Each year the numbers will pare down as players discover that this sport is not for them and the concentration of good players will become stronger and stronger. There have been some very good coaches in the past in this area at 10U and suspect there are some now and will be again. The key would be for a coach or organization to be so attractive that most of the good players would flock to them. That team could then be selective as to the players that they accept. Another problem is that at this age a lot of players (or their parents) are not interested in a lot of travel. Lastly there is no wrong approach only wrong matches. Some kids want to play a higher level but only for fun, while others have decided that softball is their love and want to play only at the highest level and may have decided that college is an option. At what age this happens, is probably variable, but it will happen. The bottom line is I have seen a lot of very good coaches and it is unfair to lump them all together because they are all different. I personally am very fond of a new 10U coach and I can tell you, she knows more about the game than most. That's jsut the way I see it.

Good post JT!I totally agree with what you said.My DD has played softball for 13,now going on 14 years.She started at a very young age of 4,now 17.We started her in "League Ball" from age 4-9,then moved on to "Select Ball" from age 10 to present.It was a very good move for her.She knew that she wanted to go on to play at a Collegiate Level fairly young.She is a Senior and currently looking a few Colleges over to attend to play Softball.We played on the local teams,but she decided to move on to an out of area team for certain reasons.All in all it is good.We as parents need to learn to support our kids,back them as much as possible.I have always said,my daughter is the one on the field.I am just there to cheer her on!As for the Coaches,I praise them for giving all their spare time to the kid's.I know that they would not do it, if they really did not want to.Men and women working full time jobs,having families...but yet take the time to practice and coach our kids.I would like to say Thank You! to all of my DD's coaches past to present!

Show me where I said "there were NO good coaches"!!!  If you read an earlier post I commend the coach from 11U Orange Storm and I said I dont even know the guy..I have just witnessed and watched his coaching and I give credit where credit is due...Once again I believe I have offended a few people on here because maybe, just maybe they are second guessing their coaching skills!!  This topic is now mute...I have tried to make a point and not sure why a select few cannot understand that "IN MY OPINION I BELIEVE THAT 60-75% (NOT ALL) COACHES IN THIS AREA ARE CLUELESS!!!  If you still dont understand, I dont know what else to tell ya!!!

Johnny T...You also stated "The key would be for a coach or organization to be so attractive that most of the good players would flock to them. That team could then be selective as to the players that they accept."  I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU ANYMORE.. So you, yourself are saying that we do not have that here....THATS MY POINT!!  THANK YOU!!

The point there are lots of coaches, many of them good. But none that have seperated themselves from the pack to be considered the best in the area. That's a big difference. It doesn't mean that none are good, it means that one org is not perceptively better than another in the eyes of these kids andparent.

I would also tell you, as a parent ease back a notch, because it is along haul. Many a kid has became burned out before their time. Its a tough call, but you need to make it fun while still striving for excellence.

What's offensive are comments on here like this:

[quote author=LULUJUJU link=topic=73596.msg860697#msg860697 date=1285775252]
Look here you keyboard badA$$...  I have the right to post my opinion about any coach or coaches I please!!!  And IF I tickled your feathers and you have a problem with that I can easily be reached!!!!!!! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANNA DO!!  [/quote]

You slam local coaches knowing, I'm pretty sure, that several current and former coaches read and contribute to this forum.  Then, when some call you out on your comments, you offer to fight?  Please.  Hopefully you won't take the advice of a couple of posters on this thread and coach yourself.  There is no place in youth sports for people who react this way when challenged.

BTW, the word is [b]moot[/b], not [b]mute[/b].  Mute is ......  nevermind.

    • I wish I was as “smart” as you, so that I would know everyone’s views, as you think you do.
    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
