I just got back from our board meeting and dinner. The highlight of the two hour meeting was the "piloting" of allowing three teams in the 12U (12 & under age group) division IF there is enough talent trying out.
It just seems we just finished a National Title (12U division) ending season and now we're talking about the 2007 All-Star season which is only a little over one month away. We finally officially decided to name our teams Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Other leagues already do this but we just called our teams All-Stars, or Tournament team. This lead to some confusion and we ended up having to say All-Stars=A/Gold, and Tournament=B/Silver.
We have, if not the largest league, one of the largest in the nation. So, we do have enough to field a third team; the only thing I'm worried about is that the Bronze team may not be as strong and both players/coaches and parents will feel discouraged.
Also, if there enough talented players in the 8U, and 14U divisions, then they would form a second team. Sometimes the 14U team barely has enough players to form a Gold team due to losing players to travel, or high school. We'll see. It's only a month away.
Life goes by so fast...need to take a few seconds to write down and remember experiences that make me the person I am.
