Back to the original subject,
Pete,
Down south we play mostly Dixie Youth and Dizzy Dean; however, the same problems exist.
The season now plays from April to May. The tournaments supposedly start July 3rd and the teams are only supposed to be able to practice for two weeks before the tourneys that they play in.
However, you can tell since they end in May they have the entire month of June to practice and they do, many six days a week.
It's to the point of rediculous and the league official just ignore it because every other team is doing the same thing and they have to follow suit to be able to compete.
Our local league hosts the Dizzy Dean WS for the next few years and since the WS doesn't start until July 18th or so, they travel to tournaments every week from June until ...
I talked with one parent who said they had spent nearly $3K on travel, etc., just for their kid to be able to play All-
Stars.
And it's just for the kids ... (g)
Thanks
David
