Now that I think about it, making the other kids who are his age play against him could be a good learning exercise for them. And of course, I'm not too impressed with a coach who lets his kids quit just because the pitcher is good. Will they quit someday when the test or the job is harder than they thought it would be?

If the age limits are very strictly enforced, the coaches would do well to help their kids learn to face a stronger player. Aren't sports supposed to be about building character???
