There is a group of parents here forming a 12-U AAU team for the fall. Most of these folks are my friends from the ballpark. They feel their little tykes are being held back by the LL participation rules, politics, etc. The manager feels he gets screwed every year...same old story. Their main goal for this team is Williamsport next summer. This group can play together everyday until next June 15, and they still won't get out of districts.
I have posted before that my son is a marginal baseball player, at best. Obviously, he hasn't been asked to play (thank God, because we would turn them down in a heartbeat). With all of the established AAU teams running newspaper ads looking for players, (an interesting "selection" process in itself), it will be interesting to see when they approach me to offer my kid a spot. I guarantee it will happen. Probably for spring ball after they get their @$$es handed to them this fall, and they lose 5 or 6 kids to attrition, but it will happen.
