Oak Creek Little League (bad move)

[shout out]

It appears that the leaders at Oak Creek Little League have setup the next season so teams are going to be selected and set up by the managers and that the kids wont get drafted like has been done in the past. Managers cannot draft a team and they wont know what team they will manage as well.
The leadership in Oak Creek wants to make it so all teams have parity. It doesnt matter that a parent and their kid dont want to play for a certain coach or that they may want to play on the same team as their friends. This leadership isnt concerned about players working hard and earning their selection at a draft. They are only concerned about the players who dont work hard, maybe it is their own kids that are being helped by this new process?
It sure would have been nice if you would have let the parents know about your ratical, libral changes so we could have had input!!!!!
Whats next? Are you going to set batting orders, lineups and make pitching changes for all the teams too?

Well this league will be run very similar to the leagues surrounding OC. My friends have kids in Franklin LL and they have operated like this every year and the community prefers it over a yearly draft. The current proposed plan offers consistantcy. There are many parents that want to stay with a certain coach and are unable year in and out due to the draft. What is so wrong with a child spreading his wings and playing on other teams without their friends and making new. Is this a parents coffee clutch, we forget this is for the kids. Under the new plan I was told if you do not like the team you can redraft and be selected to a new team. I am all for consistancy and would hope my child will get a new coach that will teach my child the fundamentals of the game and give him the EQUAL opportunity to play the game. I know they are out there, we have experienced great coaching. I am not liberal, I am conservative and LIKE the new plan. As for as setting up line ups and batting orders, May you be blessed with a good coach so your child can experience a competeive and rewarding season.

[Equal Opportunity]

Your not liberal but you are all for EQUAL opportunity!!!! You said "if you don't like the team you can re-draft". Why not keep re-drafting then until you like the team????? Sounds pretty conservative to me.....
What about hard work? Why is it that you say you are a conservative, but yet you want your kid to have equal opportunity even if he doesnt deserve it. What happened to hard work will get you more playing time? Why should a parent have to pay huge dollars 275.00 for their kid to play little league, a league where his hard work doesnt mean anything? Equal opportunity should be for the Rec. Leagues. I can see equal playing time and opportunity for the younger kids, say the first year players, but as they get older that should not be the case....
You may want your kid with just any coach, but some parents do not...Are you saying that every year your child is or was drafted by the same coach? This is not Franklin, you want to be like Franklin, then move to Franklin!!!!
This is the problem, the Oak Creek board is telling the parents what is good for them and they want to control all aspects of our children development. Sounds liberal to me!!!

Those damn liberals. Next thing you know they will make us take their health insurance, give our parents social security, and pay us unemployment when we lose our jobs.

Oh..... were we talking baseball?
