This is our first year in travel ball (10u) after many years of rec ball. We've been a little disheartened by the coaches' actions lately. He yells constantly at the girls, tells them (during tournaments while they're on the field playing) that the other team is laughing at them, tells them that he chose players this year that wanted to play ball instead of choosing girls with talent, tells them that the ONLY reason to play travel ball is to win, and has even yelled at a couple of the parents (during a game). A mom from another team even came up to a couple of the parents and asked them why they are letting their daughters play for him after she witnessed him yelling at the girls during a game.
I'm all for winning and doing their best, but at 10u shouldn't it be at least a little bit of fun for the girls and also shouldn't it be about learning the fundamentals and being encouraged (and taught) to do better? Is berating them really the only way to get them to improve their game?
