I should mention that our HS boys and girls coaches put on clinics for our rec coaches and help pick our classic teams, since we are the main feed into their program. There are no school sponsored teams in elementary or middle schools in our district, so we "are it."

You should also mention that both the boys' and the girls' varsity teams consistently make it into the state play-offs, about two years out of three, over the past 10 years or so. This is not a particularly wealthy suburb -- very mixed economically, as well as racially. This league reaches and helps a wide range of children and gives a great asset to the community.
Also, Mark has been kind enough to invite me to work for him this winter. After all the problems I've had working other rec leagues in the past, do you think I'll be taking advantage of his offer? Does a cow eat grass?
