They will give other kids errors and not their own kids, Is this common? I wish we could opt out of GameChanger.
My child (age 11) has been on a team for several years that does all stars and occasional tournament. My child has friends on the team and it is kids from our local league. I have been resentful pretty much most of the time because they only seem interested in developing the coaches or Board of directors kids and several of the "favorites". Those kids never sit while a few of the kids including mine they treat as "fill ins" have to sit and just play wherever. My child pitches but they never have him pitch despite doing well the few times they have let him. If my child makes one error he will sit but the "favorites" can make errors and still play entire games. This puts tons of pressure on my child to be absolutely perfect or he knows he will sit. The favorites can strike out a lot and stay at the top of the lineup. The team does not do well so the method they are using isn't working either. it is nauseating and outright infuriating, I am a single mom and not in with the "dad" or "coaches" club. Despite how angry I am it is hard to leave the team but I know it is not benefiting him and honestly they won't even care if he leaves I don't think. My child is a very social and sincere person and loves his teammates, he is a solid baseball player that can play any position. Anyone else faced a similar situation and decision and how did it turn out?
edit: thanks to everyone for the feedback
I havent bought Haagen dazs in a long time but it was on sale so I got a bunch. it is very watery/icy and not thick and creamy anymore. is this how it is now?
we want to switch leagues next year and had planned to but now the all stars team my kid is on wants to go to Cooperstown so my son of course now wants to stay in this league just to do that where he will probably sit while the coaches kids play and the team loses every game because of the terrible coaching decisions. Is Cooperstown worth staying in a miserable situation? I don't think so but never been so need advice from others.
if child doesn't do anything will they just be assigned a roommate? how do they just get assigned a roommate?
My child is young for his grade he is 11 going into 7th grade in fall (fall birthday - mistake putting him in K starting at 4 but can't go back now). he is a really good baseball player and also plays basketball and soccer, and any other sport he can play but has been dying to play tackle football since kindergarten pretty much and begs every year to play tackle. I said no every year but was considering it this year but our youth football league goes by grade not age so will be in with kids up to age 14. is this a mistake? I am very worried. he is also on the smaller side.
edit: some of you are scaring me more and some are making me feel better, still not sure what to do! 🤣
I was taken aback when I was scolded bc my child is attending camp instead of doing the travel summer program. My child plays baseball with this program in fall and spring, and also does little league and all stars in summer and other random tournaments. Child loves outdoor type camp so I am not willing to change that. Is my child going to be "blacklisted" in this program because he isn't paying extra for all these summer programs and attends camp instead (add to this these baseball programs are during the day on weekdays and i work full time). He plays baseball year round as it is. advice pls I am really shocked, child has been with this program for years
FYI
I just got an email that they will refund any unsold tickets from marketplace AND we can bypass the lottery for next year and purchase tickets! This was more than I hoped for!
