Because Cal Ripken League is GHEY for making 6U tee ball.
I don’t know about now, but 10-12 years ago Cal Ripken was the most advanced park league there was. I like the idea 6U coach pitch. I’ve never seen how an all star team looks playing it at that age, but if it’s anything like the rest of the all star leagues it’s gone way down hill. The talent is gone. The kids are gone. 12 years ago the park my son played at had 8 12U teams. They had 10 11U teams. We played travel and all star tournaments with the kids every year. I’m umpiring again now and it’s a joke. If one of the 11U teams I saw last weekend got in a 2D tournament they might not score a run. And 2D isn’t great.
