Poaching Players & Jumping Ship

[default]

Geez Louis, Look up the definition of poaching. It's the act of taking something illegally. I don't hear of too many fastpitch kidnappings around the state. You can't poach what comes willingly. There are probably just as many times that the players makes first contact and not a "poaching" coach. What should a coach do that is looking for players and a player contacts them and says, "my current team is not a good fit for me, I would like to talk to you about playing for your team?" EVERYTHING cuts both ways. I have too many other issues to deal with than trying to worry about keeping a kid that doesn't want be there anyway. It's best for both parties to part ways.

If you were an alien and landed on this planet and read the OFC, you would think that the 2nd worst people on the planet are fastpitch coaches. The worst people on the planet would be Dads who are fastpitch coaches.

Naaaaaaaaaa pitchers dads have to be first lol

I won't say that they are the 2 worst people on the face of the earth, but I think that you have a perfect storm. New families and new coaches who aren't familiar with travel ball and the unwritten protocols and expectations.

Now, about those pitcher's Dads

Well if you win a berth or play with a sanctioned roster...poaching is more difficult. Right? I thought this was mentioned earlier but it sounds so good I had to repeat it.

We will never realize it, the plate belongs to the hitter. The ball belongs to the pitcher whos trying to throw it across our plate........:lmao: And if she gets it close enough we can just send it back to her.

I spoke to Torri at the Valpo camp and she said she was coaching this summer, hope to see yall out there sometime soon.

I am so ready for summer and High School hasn't even started yet, that last hs game is going to be a tough one. I can't believe Amber is a senior already. Time goes to fast.

Oh yea, Amber had one sent back to her up at Compuware last summer, the ball hit her on the thigh, and it was hit as hard as a ball can be hit, she still has the bruise.......don't throw the ball down the middle to a D1 stud......lol

You probably just nailed it on 85% of coaches at the 10u, 12u, and 14u levels.
