It probably depends the league and coaching. I mean they are still learning, and our team had a number of first timers, so our coaches was more focused on learning and having fun rather than winning.
the playoffs were a little more competitive, where we tried to play our best players at their best positions, but still tried to give everyone involved.
some other teams were much more competitive, once bringing a young ump to tears because they didn’t like their calls, etc. I’m sure it will only get worse the older they get. sighs
I know the team/parents that did that got a talking to, and I’m not sure what would have happened if it continued, but at least there’s some measures to curb it a little bit.
they have a hard enough time finding umps it would suck if they couldn’t play because no one wanted to do that.
