Crazy Youth Parents and Coaches Series
The entire Yuba City Junior Varsity baseball team was suspended for an entire week following a massive brawl with rival Del Campo. The account of the fight was covered by advarsitysports.com
The ugly event allegedly started with a first base coach jawing with the pitcher of the Yuba City Honkers. The young pitcher lost his cool and threw a baseball at the coach. The ball missed the coach, so the player charged the coach and a brawl ensued. Check it out.
As if this event did not need anymore ugliness, at the end of the video you'll notice a foul mouthed mom (I assume it's a mom) walk on the field dropping F-bombs and giving a finger to the collective.
The school, not the commissioner of the section, imposed the penalty. His M.O. as he put it is to let the school police itself. I hope that stiffer and more specific penalties result after a full investigation.
The Main Point
I think that the first base coach of Del Campo should be fired if the accounts are true. A coach should never, ever address a youth player in this way.
The pitcher should be suspended for the entire season. This kid lost his cool and gave his school, with a great baseball reputation, a major black eye. Luckily the kid was not batting when the coach got under his skin, otherwise the young punk could be facing assault with a deadly weapon charges today.
Finally, the mom, who walked on the field, was not doing her son or herself any favors by going on to the field spewing profanities. I would bet that her behavior is the root cause to the issue.
Unfortunately, parents and coaches set the tone for kids. The parent and coach in this case set an ugly tone indeed.

Wow. It's just goes from bad to worse and everyone is at fault. The way the coach, the player and the mom acted are not okay under any circumstances.

ReplyDeleteMy name is Dan Tino and I am a casting producer for Metal Flowers Media based out of Los Angeles. Right now we are casting for a cable show that will depict the lives of youth coaches across the country. Essentially, we want to highlight the ups and downs of coaching and the trials and tribulations of dealing with children and parents in youth sports leagues. It's obviously not always a walk in the park but the rewards can often outweigh the complications - and vice versa - thus we thought this would be an excellent idea for a show!
I am reaching out to you to see if any coaches in your organization would be interested in interviewing to be a part of this show. We are looking for HARD NOSED, A-TYPE, TOUGH-LOVE COACHES with STRONG PERSONALITIES. You can forward this email to those who might be interested or I could send you a flier that you could post on your website and/or send out as well. Those who are interested should write back to me with the following information:
Name, age, occupation/title, current city, contact info, and a brief bio on themselves. Please feel free to email or call me with any questions. Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
Dan Tino

I always hate it when teams start to duke it out in the field, albeit exchanging blows instead of exchanging plays. They're ruining the diamond that a lot of people work hard for to maintain.
ReplyDeleteI want to read more of your good articles. Well done.
