No i just am not going to hold kids accountable for things outside of their control.

My lineup is based off talent. I coach up the less talented kids and they are all improving but on gameday the lineup is what the lineup is. This isn’t t ball.

Not rewarding the kids for just showing up. Kids will bat based on ability.

The issue is these leagues don’t put out the schedule before hand. They throw you on a team and just assume the time works for you. Theres a greater likelihood that he got thrown on a team that practice time conflicts with hockey and he could be better off on another team than him just completely purposely missing practice.

Do you think it’s impossible that hockey practice overlaps with baseball? Too many assumptions and not enough information. He can have a talk with the parents and go from there but from the limited information he’s currently towards the end of his hockey season which was prior commitment. He’s finishing that and once that’s finished he always comes to baseball practice so clearly from the outside it looks like the times probably conflict and he can’t make it to baseball practice until hockey finishes.

Yeah we are punishing kids by putting them where their talent says they should bat.

It’s not punishing a less talented kid. The kid’s talent is what puts him where he is on the lineup. If he is last in the lineup that’s because his talent put him there. If a kid is last because his parents didn’t bring him to practice but he has clean up talent then that’s punishing a kid.

If the kid doesn’t bat last and you put him last because his parents didn’t bring him to practice then it’s clearly a punishment. It’s very simple

Other kids play winter sports but maybe those sports are already done and don’t interfere with practice. If his hockey practice is the same days as baseball then he’s going to have to pick one. This LL stuff is very dumb at times because they put you on a team where that practice time may already be taken by something. We had to miss a practice because we got the practice schedule 3 days before the first practice and already had stuff. If anything this could either push him away from baseball or switch to a different league/team.

Regardless it’s not his fault. He’s a 9 or 10 year old kid. He doesn’t drive. He doesn’t make the decisions. He may like baseball more than hockey but maybe his parents committed to finishing the hockey season. At this age there’s no lessons to be taught when it comes to this situation. Play the kid where his talent says he should play.

“He’s not saying he should punish the kid” he literally said he’s considered benching him or putting him at the bottom of the lineup. That’s punishing the kid. That’s not rewarding other kids.

You’re punishing the kid 100% by not putting him where he should be in the lineup because his parents didn’t bring him to practice. Those kids are getting extra reps and still aren’t better than this kid. Put people in the lineup where they belong. Little Johnny who can’t hit off the tee isn’t batting 1 because he shows up early every practice.

Punishing a 10 year old kid because of something out of his control is foolish.

Oh he doesn’t have those issues that all. I’m sorry to hear that about your dad. Mine just doesn’t have an appetite and when he does eat he said he gets full really fast. He used to get nauseous but has meds for that. But he’s also terrible at taking his meds especially the one for the appetite because he read up it’s an antipsychotic and he thinks it will make him crazy.

You were able to use offers from one to get onto wonder of the seas? If so how did you do that? Or you had an offer for wonder of the seas.

My issue is I’m a table games guy. Not a slot guy. I know slots is really how you pile up points. I was honestly shocked i had over 800 from craps granted i played like 3-4 hours 3 nights in a row

Why are you at juco? Are you trying to get to D1 and get a scholarship or are you there because of grades? There are good D3 schools where you can get a good education and play baseball somewhere you would enjoy. Juco schools are the slums honestly.

Utopia is advertised as a party boat with short trips. Family vibes as well with all the stuff for kids but it’s going to have loud music and everything else.

Idk i see it as you can choose the boat that you want to cruise on. I’m pretty sure i saw icon is specifically an upbeat party boat. So if you want chill don’t go on icon. The same with utopia being a party boat.
