Thank you. Getting attenion from the coach's can be tough.This is the start of our third season in little league. We attend games and practices faithfully and give up other activities and outings telling our kids that team members have an obligation to show up. We have only missed one practice do to illness. My son has sat out 5 of the last 10 inings (two games) despite only having 10 and 11 players. He also was the only one on his team to show up for opening day ceremonies (we did not want to be there either). Coachs understadably play their kids more and let them pitch or catch more . I think they see that as their privilige for&#160; volunteering. I help out where I think I can and we do our part as far as umpiring. My husband who knows how to and follows Ball can't coach do to&#160; a cronic illness. Any suggestions on how to get attenion would be appreciated. We do encourage&#160; the kids to be patient and perservere...and have fun. We're Trying to teach them that you make your own success no one owes you anything.</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:a18d791a-f92a-4de5-899c-4b321751c969] --> Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:50:00 GMT guest http://community.active.com/message/816441?tstart=0#816441 2008-04-26T16:50:00Z 5 years, 3 weeks ago 1 0 http://community.active.com/message/816455?tstart=0#816455 <!-- [DocumentBodyStart:6877c3e5-74f0-43c3-b58d-0f809564196e] --><div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Encouragement!
