Grrr...... I am steaming right now. My head is pounding, and I am trying really hard to keep my mouth shut to a point and not get myself in trouble. So instead, you guys get to hear me vent!
Ok so Ryan and dad are coaching Dean' s little league team. We are finishing up tonights practice and another coach asks us if we have heard about the new rule regarding pitching to our 8 year old players. (in the 5-8 year group, coaches pitch underhand) We had not heard anything so investigated and have found out that the rules have been changed and now our 8 year olds are to be fast pitched to over hand. Now we have been practicing for 3 weeks now and games start in 2 weeks. No announcement was made regarding this rule change and several coaches did not know about it and only found out about it tonight.
We have voiced our opinion in as diplomatic way as possible but there are several coaches who are VERY upset about this newest development. Now the coaches who have only pitched underhand must start pitching over hand but only for a few players per team and now our players have to learn to hit fast pitches in the 2 weeks we have before games start.
Ok I am done, I would like to say I feel better but then I would be lying. Think I will just go to bed and dream about the things I would like to do to who ever made this decision without consulting any of the coaches.
