What would you do if your son plays on a town team that has a coach is so desperate to win he shortens the bench and still goes 1-2 and doesn't make the playoffs.
First off, I would have never left PAL !!!
Sounds like another weekend that west islip loses again. 3 tournaments = 0 Championships Great job TR
The wheels are coming off the bus.
Honestly, "so desperate to win" in 4th grade is a laughable. Yes, I he a 4th grade laxer and I have a high schooler. These games me nothing, just play them and if the kids are putting forth maximum effort, it's all good. Shortening a bench on 4th graders is wrong. No defending it in my.opinion.
If you don't intend to play to win, don't enter Tournaments! Just set up some play days, or play PAL and let that be it.
If you are in a Tournament and have a chance to win, and each kid plays some of every game and has gotten a little work leading up to crunch time, damn right, shorten the bench.
