goldy - I like the idea of limiting what they do at pee wees and below. But not everyone would agree. A group came forward and wanted to bring a 12U team to Nationals.
There are a lot of hockey people and giving everyone what they want is not easy.
As far as baseball goes, what you said is true at the upper level (Babe Ruth, VFW, Legion). But 13 and 12 year old baseball in the north and west is very difficult for games etc between communities. At the local level some do well, some do not. And generally there is no consistency from year to year.
Here at home we have avery good in house program and our traveling teams do very well. But we have had the same president for 6 or 7 years as well as others that have been around as long or longer.
Most communities that I talk with have no one that brings that effort other than to the team or age group their son or daughter is at. We ahve been working hard to help these other communities but it has nto been easy.
