It was stated earlier that york only practices an hour and a half, well this is not correct.They have practiced an hour and a half once and the rest of the year it has been 45min to hour. I understand the coach has other responsibilities but this is not fair to all those young men who play for her and have hopes and dreams of playing at the next level. This group of players have all been somewhat successful at the youth level, They have won county championships,played and won some district championships and played in some state tournaments as well,with one group of 14yr olds finishing 5th in the state last year.The talent is there and the players know that it takes A LOT of hard work and PRACTICE to be competitive at this level. Not a 45min or 1hr practice 3 to 4 days a week. A sophmore pitcher was thrown 150+ pitches a few weeks ago for absolutely no reason. The game was 3-1 in the middle of the 5th with york down. The kid was clearly tired but sent back out. With 5 other pitchers available and only one non distict game left in the week. He began struggling and they ran it up to about 8-1 and still no change in pitchers, kid was past 100 pitches by this time. A parent finally walks over and ask the coach if she knows how many this kid has thrown. she doesnt acknowledge the parent but one coach ask a player on the bench for a pitch count and they tell the coach 130 something and the parent leaves in disbelief.The game ends in 6, 11-1 with the pitcher never being pulled. He finishes the game with 150+ pitches being thrown. He had not pitched in 2wks so guess what the outcome was. yep u guessed it!!!!!!!

Heard from a very good source that the team was loaded with young talent but there coach doesn't have enough sense to coach a T-ball game. Coaches like this need to realize that they have been handed a precious gift in a group of young players that obviously love the sport and some could even be good enough to play at the next level. Some of their futures depend on him or her to do their job and if they can't do the job let someone else have it that can. Because it is ABOUT THE KIDS. It's not about someone drawing an easy paycheck .
