It seems our culture has embraced Extreme Youth Sports to go along with Extreme Everything Else."<BR/><BR/>I think that this depends on where you live. We live in rural Central Texas, and our culture isn't into extreme anything for the kids. The focus is on having fun and helping the kids learn the sport. <BR/><BR/>It seems like some zealots got a hold of your league. It sounds so high society to me. Do the coaches all talk on cell phones and carry day planners during the games?

Which is why I felt so strongly that if you commit to being a part of the team you should be there every time, unless it is something very important. <BR/><BR/>On Friday, 7 kids showed up for the game. 7 out of 16. We had to borrow kids from the opposing team. But what makes it even worse, imo, is that the 9 kids who didn't come didn't even bother to call.Notes from the Trencheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944521556200055102noreply@blogger.com
