If so, how was your experience and would you do it again? I'm thinking of coaching my son's team next year. Thanks, Jawja
I did it for a couple years when my son was 6, but hated it cause of the parents and how it's run here in Ohio.
It's not how I grew up back home in LA. All kids on the field all the time, everyone bats, no score keeping, give em all trophies.
Now, if it's like that everywhere I don't know. I hope not, but in Columbus that's how it is.
I was asked to coach my stepson's team this year. His first year and he's 5. I said no way

Assisted my buddy a few years ago and loved all the on-field stuff, working with the kids, and the general jacking around that goes with being part of a baseball team.
We had some great parents, but man, we had some over-the-top ones, too.
Example: It's 11-12 year old Dixie Youth ball, three teams in the league. Late in the season, we decided, along with the opposing coaches, that we would start all out 11-year old players, who usually got less playing time. Great deal, right?
Well, we wind up losing, and after, one of our players father comes up and asks what we were doing. We explained we were giving some kids extra playing time and both teams agreed to it. He says "Well you can't do that kind of thing when you're playing for a championship".
