It is 6th grade baseball.

That is even less important than middle school finals.

Hey don't get me wrong I in no way am trying to claim that 6th grade league baseball is some ultra important activity, I'm not that kind of guy.

I do however think it could be an opportunity to teach them about sticking to commitments and managing their time wisely, but really I don't have much say

Depends on the culture you have developed. If it's he-haw have fun have good memories, then cancel and schedule a team party at a better date.

If it's a character building exercise and has been all season, that's the key, then play the games.

Seems like the league is the one that needs to be taught the lesson. It isn't the kids fault that the game got rained out and the league wont work around finals. You seem like the douche coach that thinks he is some huge role model and father figure. However, I'm betting that most of the player have their dads around since they go to a nice private school.

Don't be that guy... it is just sad.
