No, b/c all the rec. kids DON'T show up for practice/games and don't play b/c they love the game of baseball. They think playing a sport is showing up twice a week for 3 weeks (practice) prepares you for a skilled game. They may show up for a 6p game at 555, let's be real about the situation. Rec was a big part of our lives (40+ crowd), but it's a thing of the past, just like the land line phone. As far as the "daddy" coached teams, well I'm sure no rec. teams have fathers coaching, let's be honest.

That is a generalization. I find a good amount of people leave the park because of the drama with rec coaches and lack of concern for the kid's safety when it comes to pitching. Rec coaches are more likely to cheat and over pitch kids just to get the win.

If your travel team is not coached by a dad who doesn't have college or minor league experience find one that does or join an Academy. You will get far better results than daddy ball rec coaches.
