thats a real tough age group to be coaching. Especially if you dont absolutely want to be
Yeah the way the league is setup is stupid if you ask me. Its basically 15-18 and all my kids are 15. A couple other teams are the same, then there are the teams like we played last night that are all 18 yr olds throwing 80+, have tattoos and full beards its ridiculous. I have a couple kids on my team who are just not good at baseball. They don't listen to direction but want to play, I have a couple travel players who aren't there every game because of tournaments and have restrictions on when they can/can't pitch, etc., plus being rec league ball everyone has to play and subbing kids in and out all the time is gigantic PITA when I'm trying to win games.
It's not that I don't want to necessarily. I just want to do it the way I want to do it... from the beginning. Taking over mid season is a bit tough, especially under the circumstances. I might give it a go one more year next year from the beginning IF the kids want to come back and see how it goes we only have 1 game left this year and honestly I'm glad its over, the kids have been through a lot this season.
