Little League is bad. Try swim team. That’s people with money acting like Little

Swim teams are bad...

Why?

Summer swim teams- usually have novice coaches and soccer moms yelling at them

1984coug

Then get a good one. Or just a former swimmer. As long as they aren't abusive,

Summer swim teams are different than USA year round

The advantage of the swim team is there is not much complaining about who plays

Sports with clocks are awesome! “The clock don’t lie” is what my former coach

I played youth sports growing up (mostly the 90s). Amazed at what it is now.

We've had 3 kids swim. Great experience. Much better than team sports.

Thank you for sacrificing of yourself for those kids. Your son will remember it

Big Daddy D

This. Your kid's memory of it will be very different than yours.

Pro tip: treats are on the parents

Pro tip: team treats are done when tee ball ends

Not my problem. The parents can work that out. They'll spend their energy

whirl

Lol, you’d think so, but no. That group has so much capacity to complain.

Only response needed: get out here and coach yourself or shut up

Obviously this is much more of an indication of the parents than anything else.

The worst thing about sports isn't the kids, it's ALWAYS the parents. ALWAYS

Just my two cents on going back...

Club/travel teams that don’t have parent coaches have been awesome for us

Parents can ruin youth sports. City league parents are the worst of the bunch.

You’re a good man. When I was your age I got into coaching the same way you did

5th graders don’t need treats and most development should take place at home

You just inspired me to write my son's coaches and tell them how much I am
