I'm coaching a tee ball team, 13 4-6yos. They are all sweet and fun try hard to pay attention and do the right thing. Except one. He is very immature, cries because he wants to bat, runs off the field because he can't roll around on the base line. I really don't care if he plays with dandelions in the outfield, but he wants to lay in the base line. When he leaves the field, I have made him stay out with his mom. This has happened every game. At the last game she yelled at me that she paid just like everyone else. I replied sternly that I have 13 kids to coach and watch over and he is the only one who is running off. That day when left again I said he had to stay out. She started screaming at him that he is bad, then grandma chimed in and they were hollering at the poor kid. I don't want to happen again, but I don't know what to do to keep him on the field, let alone participating properly.
The game is 45 minutes max. Any suggestions on getting him engaged or at least getting him to want to stay on the field?
