Mark, I saw this article, too, and wondered what your thoughts might be. I agree that the league should look at how the teams are formed. I have no patience for "competitive" ball at that age. The part that impressed me the most was that before this last "championship" game against the older and bigger girls, the coach told the girls, "We're not here to win or lose. It's just going to be a great learning experience." I have a lot of respect for any coach that starts a gme off with these words. On the other hand, the implication in the article was that this team was practicing three or four days a week, which I think is WAY TOO MUCH at this age. We're talking 9 years old. If this is how they won all their games, I'm strongly disapproving. Still, it was interesting that they could even BE that much better at that age. Mark, do you have any idea where exactly these gals call home base?
