Oh, I dunno, I'm not sure I'd use the terms "enjoy" and "fun" in/around the discussion of some of the G 7th grade games I've done. But, I understand your point.
I have done one leagues B13U games every weekend for yrs and enjoy it.....most of the time.
I do agree though it is very difficult to "relaxe" the travelling call standard at the lower levels.
As is being discussed with the "T" call (for example), at what age/level do you just say - "I'm calling it every time, no question" and stop being the helper/teacher? I don't believe there is a right answer. 13 yr old boy AAU but not 14 yr old Rec? F HS? MS?
Just curious.
