Its getting dangerous
One of the reasons that I have scaled back the last couple of years to only doing HS/College ball is because there are paid coaches and there is also security provided at every contest.
The summer leagues are getting further out of control and now with the $elect Teams (pay the money and you can play) its will only get worse.
We as umpires see it more than anyone since we are a third party.
Some have suggested select is the way to go, but I think that it will lose momentum simply because the parents want their money's worth.
9-12 year old kids are not capable of consistently providing entertainment for their parents $$$.
Thanks
David
