Will- I am not saying REAL coach pitch is in DD, I am just saying that at that age most players are playing DD..Now if there was no DD at this age you would see more travel type teams playing this age group.. I take my hats off to all great teams that do well.. Time will always tell how great a team is in the long run.. Next year at 9u will be a step up for all DD teams that play travel. Some will do well others will not..
I can't believe that their are nearly enough 7u "KID Pitch" teams out there to play much of a schedule! I hated it when our kids started pitching at 9u let alone 7u....WOW!!! To each his own but to me that is WAYYYYYYYY to young to have kids pitching!
how did this conversation degrade to coach pitch. Are we really that hurting for something better to be doing with our time.....
It's not so much about coach pitch but more about good baseball being played out of particular parks. It's been my observation that the Sandtown Park, even though we hadn't played out of there in several years, has had a number of State champs & WS winning teams across multiple ages groups from the Sandtown Red Sox mention initially in the discussion down to the 2010 7u Sandtown / Atlanta Angels who haven't lost a tournament in their age for two years now and have only lost 1 game in their age group. As I said, I understand they'll be playing up at 9u for 2011 and I'm anticipating them playing 700 ball. We'll see.
