Chill out a little...as the original post reads.....

Coaches of any type should be thanked for their time and effort and this is no way meant to make fun of those who volunteer their time to help kids learn the game of softball. Rather its purpose is to have a little fun...
I have one in travel and one in rec and it is funny to see the difference.

Maybe we could a follow up of you might be a travel ball coach or you might be a pitchers dad (as I am). You have to be able to laugh at yourself...

I'm Chilled. I actually think that these are very funny. To be honest, what's funnier, is that I've seen some TB coaches do most of this stuff also. Just wanted to thank the people who give a lot and don't get much if anything in return.

@HantaYo:

Don't think the "chill out" was directed at you. And spartansd has it right: all of us, no matter at what level, see at least a bit of ourselves in the "you might be" statements. And I think the "you might be a travel ball coach" has great potential. (If you carry at all times the $100 protest fee in your pocket, you might be a travel ball coach) (If you insist that your players be in bed at 9:00 pm on the Saturday night of a tournament, you might be a travel ball coach).

Rec league coaches are the shizz.

I used to coach rec league softball and baseball. I see myself in way too many of these posts and they are still hilarious!

This is the funniest innuendo on here.....did you ever notice in the movie when Buttermaker is getting his gear that "equipment" is spelled "equiptment" on the wall? Ya I've seen this a hundred times.......

equiptment is not spelled with a T Oh Krap....


BTW I have done or said many of these also....We all have Im sure

Most rec coaches are just people trying to fill a need.

You might have to much time on your hands if you spend that much time on a avatar

When I saw the coach at the tournament wearing a FULL uniform...pants, socks and ALL, I figured he HAD to be a rec coach!!

We need some pic's of that. Too funny.

When you keep telling your players to stop looking at the hot air balloons or they might get hit with the ball .

Interesting reading considering the jabs are focused on the people who donate their time, are given 13 players, and by the way 5 never played the game before, presented a 12 game schedule with 5 practices, and don't forget those 5 practices are in the grass, you receive 3 little league bats and 3 mens slow pitch softballs, and 4 of your players don't have gloves.

As the coach looks at the team and says does anyone pitch? All 13 shake their head no.

Cool, let's make fun of those coaches who have donated their time to help the kids in the sport.

Get some thick skin will you? I coach rec now, coached a select team, and I admit some of these I did. But I'm :lmao: like there's no tomorrow. These are hilarious. Lighten up.

when your making your rec line-up and your travel players are your infield...you're a overly competitive rec coach to other rec coaches

when your players are playing in the dirt as pitcher receives the sign and you laugh..you may be a rec coach

bouldersdad would have a field day on that. :lmao:

when little suzi strikes out, goes back to the dugout crying, you sit down beside her to give her a smile...you may a rec coach

when little missy completely misses an easy ground ball and she cries, call time, gets her settled down...you may be a rec coach

when you throw fits because your girls makes hundreds of errors in your first travel game, then make excuses..you maybe a rec coach

If your daughter is the starting shortstop and lead off batter and can't throw ,catch , or hit....

If you have a pizza delivered straight to the diamond during a game.....

If you set up a home plate with the point aiming at second base...you might be a rec coach.

if u call it "point"...instead of apex... ;&. Just pokin fun :cap:

You might be a rec coach if you've ever had to make this choice: Do I make my best player my pitcher because she can get the ball over the plate at least half of the time but have a catcher who misses every other pitch or do I make my best player my catcher because she will at least keep my pitcher's one hoppers in front of her?

When your pitcher throws the ball over the backstop and her dad says "check out that riseball!", you might be a rec coach.

As a pitchers dad..........I like it!

Just to backtrack a bit on the we have all been there as a rec coach topic. I started in rec with my DD when she was a 2nd year 10U player and I being the obsessive compulsive control freak that I lean towards had to be the head coach. During our first practice I had the girls just hit off a tee to the infielders(hitting a throw ball was to infrequent at the time) anyway a girl who obviously never played before or got out of the house much was batting, she hits a slow roller somewhere, takes off for 1st, makes about three strides, her feet get tangles up, she falls, starts bawling and goes home. This in in the first twenty minutes of her first practice. I think she's done, won't be back. Wrong! As it turned out she was one of the most improved players over one season I've ever coached in 11 years of coaching softball. Her Dad was also the guy that gave me one of the best softball quotes ever. One day when I got to the field he was sitting in his lawn chair, down 3rd baseline with family in tow, I asked him how he was doing and he said,"We are outdoors, playing the greatest game in the world, in the greatest country in the world." Amen brother.
