I don't know about anyone else, but man, does my town's Youth Leagues suck. Starting with Little League: The whole idea of little league is to have fun, and learn baseball. What happens? The coaches play to win, kids that aren't good ride the bench, arguments, fights, yelling at umpires. It's total BS. My brother's coach got in a fight last game....I mean WTF!@??????? IT'S A KIDS GAME, STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY. Pop Warner: Non-existant. They barely have the minimum on the team, and they all stink. All the best players get the spots, while a lesser known, or not as talented will never play. The kids parents are paying to have their kid play in an organized enviroment...not to be the waterboy. Gah, I could go on, but I'll let someone else take a crack at it. |

Heh. Well, Toxic, the new day and age has brought a different meaning to the word "coach": Put together a team and win. No longer is it about teaching, nor is it about learning or growing up. It is about winning, and solely winning. There are some exceptions, but for the most part this holds true. Which is unfortunate, and seems to be the cause of all the problems you mentioned. | |||

My towns youth leagues are also bad. And to answer your question the government took control of then and then took almost all the funding from them. |
