Ethics ??? Fall edition.....

Great post Jen! Its all about relationships, there is nothing wrong with working and supporting other ogranizations.

True that Uber! I have helped out plugging two Cincy area teams this past year along with a couple of Cleveland area teams and C-Bus teams. It is thru freindships we made with them (coaches,parents,players,ect...) during the travel season. Our organization has gotten some free plugs itself from others outside of us.

Coaches know who is respectful and who they can trust, they then will let their parents and players know and those teams will be respected. The coaches that come to your dugouts or keep asking around for kids by their names are the ones to watch. Remember that the grass is not always greener on the other side. One team I would like to comment on right away is the 12u nitro, their coaches and players are all about respect as well as the parents and I wish them nothing but the best of luck in the future - number 41 is a great kid and her passion for the game speaks for itself. Hawks Black also very nice team.

Barry, Uber, Beanery, and others get that the most important thing is to get good players with good organizations. I have plugged other organizations myself, and it looks like I need to add the Lady Irish to the list. Barry would never get with a junk organization. There ya go Jen and Barry!

I also hate poaching. Never done it never will.

And I also work with other Orgs. Ohio Danger 12u, WL Force to name two. All i want to see is a girl playing ball. weather it be in a LunaChix uniform or another team. These Orgs are all about the girl playing.

She must have had a heck of a game. What's her name and phone number, I'd like to call and "compliment" her.

A couple years back we actually had an assistant coach evaluate/offer some players at our first day of tryouts, the head coach wasn't able to attend the tryout. By the next weekend this assistant coach had taken those kids to another org.

I use to take this kind of stuff way to personal and lost way to much sleep over it. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. I rather have those kind of folks somewhere else and not coaching for our organization.

I agree with Beanery. There is nothing wrong with trying to help out another organization or another player find the right spot. We do it all the time.

one thing I've been pondering is that now that more teams have their own tournaments... does that lead to the "host" having the ability to have all the contact information for each player and much easier for them to contact them. Maybe this isn't anything new. Hopefully the coaches are setting the stage so that the girls don't want to leave even when these jokers are throwing bush league tactics at the girls and their parents.

Wow, Les is always thinking. Probably just gave someone a great idea. Guess you have to be careful what tourney you enter locally. Can't picture any of the Cincy area teams doing it but I was wrong once before.

Amen!
There are programs out there who would use the information.

this seems to happen every year...to all orgs...some coaches like to take the scraps and make a team... more power to them. But, do it on your own time at your own try-outs. Its like sittin outside a restraunt waiting for people to come out and hand you a doggie bag...we had a parent(asst. coach even)tell us he was in,while secretly committing to another team so he could back door us on our recruits...he left so his dd could be the number one pitcher..she went from getting about 35% of games pitched to not even pitching at all....this does and will continue to happen ALL the time...not cool but a harsh reality

I have debated how to put this up without identifying the organization. I'll be brief.

The organization used the team registrations to reach out to my entire team inviting them to join a 'Junior Olympic Team'. (This was a decade ago) I know this because when the letter arrived my daughters name was misspelled exactly like I typed it on that particular roster for that organization.

I got a dozen really excited kids out of the deal. It was pretty bush league; no one left but the kids walked pretty tall in the next tournament. Heck, they were JO material (at least in their minds). It had to be a mass mailing of some 2,000 kids in all age groups. I wonder how many kids they got.
