FCS lowest of the low

"Newbie" the best thing for you to do is to learn about the sport is to listen, watch and keep that mouth shut and see which a Daddy is doin everythin for the team but it is really all about his little princess.....stay on here and watch and listen and you will learn a lot, but the best thang that I can tell you to do is get out to the park cause every team has got them some, some are loud and some are cleaver and let other folks do it for them but every team has got them....do you really think that the parents really care about ALL of the girls????? Surely "Newbie" you ain't that slow, that is why we call it "DADDY BALL" its about my princess!! See what happens when their little princess leaves school and goes on...bet you don't see them no more cause it is all about their princess. I just wish more coaches could open their eyes and see it as well.....these daddy's love to help all of the time but wait until baby is gone..........NO MOE DADDY!!!!

My ol Buddy MRNOITALL I am going to have to disagree with you. My Princess has been gone for 4 years and I am still up there helping the coach get the field ready and doing what I can. So some of us stay around, very very few. But I turly love the game like you. smile Yall, life is to short.

A "Newbie" i may be...shut my mouth...never! Mr.NoItAll I am well aware of the daddys you are referring to as well as the mommies..we have those too. Do I think all these parents are there cheering on my "princess" well heavens no. I do support every girl on this team as well as the coaching staff. There is no doubt that I'm at the park to watch my daughter play and won't be back after she graduates as a casual fan. I do apologize for not picking up on your sly sarcasm from the start. I guess I do have alot to learn about the subtelties of the educated message board post. Again my rank of class is only a camper/"newbie" maybe one day i can achieve the lofty status of "MEDALIST".

 

 

Again "Newbie" you can only hope to be where I am at! But I guess it is good to have dreams!

Mommies and daddies are going to be involved no matter what school or type of school it is no matter how bad or good that team it is.

Don't listen to him Porkchopchic, he's been provoking parents for a good while now. He has a thing against Dad's or he would have noticed your forum name is of the female persuasion.

 

Dad's and Mom's are involved in every sport to the degree that their child will benefit from them. Other than that there's no real reason to be there unless your an alumni, relative, umpire, coach, involved with the facility or just a pervert. So my question to Mr. Noitall is which are you?

 

My princess will graduate this year and I'll likely retire from the forums until the second generation comes along. I will say I've enjoyed the sport thoroughly both in coaching, parenting and living the dream. It was fun to watch all the kids grow and compete.

 

If I can offer any advice to all those comming after it would be this. Strive to give your child the best opportunities that are out there but "enjoy" it. There is far too much angst and gossip over the trivial nonsense. You are going to spend an untold amount of money chasing a very minimal return in scholarship money for softball. Put everything in proper perspective and enjoy your kid, it'll all be over before you know it.
