No matter what tourney you are going to have "bad Umpires"
Here's how I have approached it as a coach every year with my team ..... ( you can ask any of them)
We will play a inner team game of 4 vs 4 vs 4 or 3 vs 3 vs 3 ....
Catchers call the pitches and I get to umpire the game .....LOL
Now I sometimes get it wrong... LOL... They get upset and I tell them that this happens in games get over it and move on! The coaches will deal with it!! .... Oh and my Calls ARE BAD!!
I feel this gets them used to the fact that Bad calls are made!! Its all part of the game !
Wait till you get in the big college games like the SEC and you get squeezed by the umpires ...you can either move on or complain or adjust and overcome....Its easier to move on and takes less energy!
You have to be ready to move on to the next play!!
I really feel we as a team do a good job of moving on and not letting it interfere with the Rest of the game !
The coaches deal with the calls, the players play the game, and the parents stay out of it! Let the coaches do there job!
So parents, Coaches, cheer on your players and help them learn to move on !!!
Some times we feel it was that one call, but I'm sure there where more errors that caused the loss, not the umpires!
