[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 188239, member: 179"] I think putting him in a different league is a great idea. I know my oldest, when playing baseball, was not the best. The coaches were great about rotating players no matter what your skill level was. I can see how it would be intimidating to new players. Poor kid. He just wants to play ball. I'd be pretty PO'd as a mom as well. I wouldn't lose my control, but explore other opportunities. If he's that good, some league would pick him up even if he's under aged. My daughter had a similar thing happen with water polo. She's [B]VERY[/B] good. When she came for the summer, she enrolled in a local league to keep her skills up during the summer. The 'fun' league said she was too aggressive, so she went to an all men's league. They kind of laughed and said they'd be soft on her. Well....you don't know my daughter. She'll take you down in a heart beat in the water. It took one practice session with them being 'kind' to realize that she meant business. She was at that point, one of the guys. :) I hope this boy's mom finds him his nitch. Abbey [/QUOTE]
