We were told watch your wallet if your son becomes part of Kings, well that certainly was sound advice, but our disappointment goes far deeper than that. We paid top dollar last Fall for Fall ball. The coach was suddenly unable to be at games, no other coaches from the organization stepped in, we barely played and if memory serves me, my son got two at bats. Parents were furious, but stayed with the organization thinking this was a one-time issue that the coach was unavailable. Fast forward to this summer. Our son was "invited" to spend approximately 40 days down south, $5k plus airfare and food, to play baseball for the majority of the summer. My son apparently had two tough games early on (this was supposed to be a learning experience!) and never played his position again. Pitched a few innings, as there were not enough pitchers, yet 21 players were brought! He got approximately five at bats the entire 40 days and benched most games. He was not the only one. In the ten years my son has played bb, I have never spoken to a coach or made a complaint until this summer with the Kings organization. They preach fairness and respect, and always tell the boys if they attend practice they will play, well no player worked out or practiced more than my son, so their claims are just not true. Besides these issues, the coach drove a van that did not have enough seats for each player, so kids had to take turns standing, the drives were long and this was a serious safety issue. With all the money each player had to pay, a safe form of transportation was the least of what should have been provided. read more
