Speaking of lots of games
We passed 50 games this year a while ago - looking at 80-90 that I will have coached from fall league in September to the end of nationals in July, a new annual high. Our first full year we played about 70 games, last year we hit 80. And some of my players have been at nearly every game this year - it is a HUGE commitment. But at least 5 of my players will have a chance at a college hoops scholarship, something that would not have been possible without this work they have done the past few years.
And those that don't go on in hoops may have opportunities in other competitive sports due to what they have learned through hoops. My son is excelling at the team play aspect of lacrosse because he has played so much bball and soccer that he has great field vision and anticipation of the play. He is earning PT not because of fundamentals (he is still learning) but because of his feel for that type of game. All of my girls players will bring that to any athletic team they join.
