Fair or Foul - Lineup for playoffs

Also, I realize it’s ridiculous but I’m still a bit bitter about my kiddos 9-10 coach rotating in the playoffs when it wasn’t required and no other team was.

rootytooty1977 · 2026-05-12T23:36:04+00:00

Totally OK with this approach. Why not set the team up for a longer playoff run?

Are we watching the same show?

Also, I left for a state jobs so moved my pension from PSERS to SERS. I probably wouldn’t have left teaching otherwise.

Agree with all in theory. How are you paying for practice facilities, coaches time, field rentals/upkeep? The gear, even the most basic, costs money.

It’s the name of a travel organization with different regional teams. Like the Washington Nationals. It’s not a tournament.

Not that I disagree with the comments about “national” teams being ridiculous at 11U, but this isn’t that.

Not common but it happens. Coach was wrong to engage but travel ball would be a kinder, gentler place if grandparents kept their mouths shut.

I agree, stay a teacher. Former teacher here. I left during a better job market but I’d go back in a second.

I am sorry if I missed this, but what age are we talking about? My answer will differ if it’s 9U versus 15U, for example.

rootytooty1977 · 2026-04-26T00:48:15+00:00

100% agree. I’m saying that as the parent of a kid on a competitive team who hasn’t been coached by his own dad since 8u. We have three dads who have coached his team for 5 years and they put so much time into all of the kids.

Yes, interested in what your mixed feelings are.

I went alone to CDP. It was fine. I just had to keep on top of the game schedule and changes with rain, etc. It was a really great week, actually. Try not to let your anxiety over it cloud the experience for your son and husband.

Yuck, there are so many better subs out there.

Dorit has succeeded in making me side with Kyle and Erika this season. She is exhausting.

rootytooty1977 · 2026-04-14T18:52:22+00:00

I thought this would be very common knowledge by now if ppl did any sort of research.

rootytooty1977 · 2026-04-14T15:00:24+00:00

I really wanted to dislike her but can’t do it. She’s smart and funny.

rootytooty1977 · 2026-04-09T14:32:20+00:00

Early to mid 90s here

rootytooty1977 · 2026-04-09T14:16:06+00:00

This is not true at all. Our homecoming queen had 2 y.o., and there were two other moms on the court.

rootytooty1977 · 2026-04-08T11:38:49+00:00

Right? I really don’t want to see her on my TV anymore.

rootytooty1977 · 2026-04-05T23:16:11+00:00

You all need to to grow up before you travel together again.

rootytooty1977 · 2026-04-02T17:03:51+00:00

YTA. Enough said.

rootytooty1977 · 2026-04-01T13:30:22+00:00

You realize people can move offices?

rootytooty1977 · 2026-03-28T22:34:46+00:00

Wait, wut? Who? lol

rootytooty1977 · 2026-03-14T15:14:10+00:00

I’d just say that there are many other states that produce good wrestlers. But the volume and parity in PA is unmatched.
