Also, parents should not hesitate to confront an ump, who made a bad call, in the parking lot after the game. If it was a really bad call, they should take care of business immediately, on the field.

I began teaching my son this technique during the toddler stage, Mr. KC Kings. Worked like a charm with guests, furniture, and pets. Then, in a real game, when it mattered, and it was all on the line ... nothing.

Your playing in USSSA rules in the KC area, right?
If so your runner in any way impedes a defensive player your runner is out. Automatically. If your runner could have avoided contact and doesn't, he automatically out and ejected from the game. If a runner has to veer out of the baseline because a defensive player was in the baseline and the in the umpires judgement kept him from advancing the runner is awarded the next base. There is no tolerance for intentional contact in the rules and the unwritten rules between coaches. Too many players have gotten hurt. Last summer I had an opposing player try to bulldog my catcher at home and he broke his leg. |

The problem with teaching your kids that rule is that the kids on the other team might not know the rule. Good chance of an injury occurring if your kids are looking to plow into someone and the other kid doesn't know he's fair game.
Personally, I'd let it go for now. There are more important facets of baseball they can be working on. |

Then I did it in a game (when it was perfectly necessary as the play was at home) the ump threw me out of the game because of foul play.

Well, good. There is no place for intentionally inflicting injury, especially not on elementary school age children. Any coach that permits that ought to be banned from coaching.

Kids need to learn how to win. How to better themselves. How to be a good teammate and sacrifice thier personal wants for the good of the team. But the line you don't cross is taking a chance on hurting a kid to win a little league game.

A lot when they jumped the ump after the game.
