he also plays on a 7U select team
I would argue that if there is a select team for a 7 year old, then you may be part of the problem. This truly is insane.

Not every” select” teams are the same. Some are out of control and practice 5 days a week and play tournaments every weekend
Some are simple there because the REC system is awful and the dads got together so they could at least have structure over the kids practices instead of being glorified babysitting sessions

It's only "select" under current definitions (re: monthly dues, more intensive practice and paid tournaments); we didn't have to "tryout" and there is a kid on the team this is his first time playing ball.
We have played in two leagues around our area and you should honestly see the competition - my son isn't learning anything from our local little league or the league we're in right now.
To put it in perspective, our current team is 6-0 and we've scored 78 runs and only had 15 scored on us; he's not learning to lose with grace nor the fundamentals.

I think we've sort of outgrown sports, as a society. We can't go back to the way youth sports were, or the way college football was, or the way the NFL was when non-idiots watched it.
You can blame capitalism, but honestly that's kind of like blaming a dog for eating that shoulder roast you left on the floor. We tolerated the bullshite all along the way, from Monday Night Football to "Plan B" free agency to the Bowl Alliance to NIL... to this nightmare.
