At age 10 it's just more about getting the kids some exercise and letting them have fun with their friends. If you are a parent/coach getting wrapped up in the W-L record of a little league team calm down.

Parents take that stuff WAY too seriously.

Little Timmy isn't getting that scholarship, he's an above average athlete in suburban park league. Chill out and let them have some fun.

Yeah I had words with my son's coach for coach pitch baseball last year. Guy was a total prick and treated the kids like they were high school kids. Really wanted to pull my son off the team, but didn't want him to think quitting was okay. By the end of the season the kids just weren't into it, and after enough parents complained he was banned from coaching in that league.

No surprise, I found out he blew out his elbow in high school and all the colleges that were interested in him lost interest.
