We had a Meagan on our 8u softball team last year.

I won't regale you with tales of seeing Ski go off in person. but i was there and so was another poster that I know of.
I certainly dont take any pleasure in them falling from graceI take immense pleasure in them falling from grace.
I got cut in 4th grade from the baseball team. Quit football in 7th grade.
Wrestling was my salvation in 8th grade thru my senior year. Two great coaches who took an interest in helping me mature and grow up.
I wasn't the best 185-pounder and we had no heavy weight, so I "wrestled up" on 9th grade team as a heavy weight. My aerobics were second to none, so if you were one of the 225 lb tubs of goo taking me on, if you didn't pin me inside of a minute, your ass was mine.
Always took bottom, and worked the arm bar to roll those big boys over until they ran out of breath and succumbed to my reverse half nelson with all 180 lbs directed between their boy boobs into their sternum thru my chin.
Finished 2nd in every Fr, So (185), JV (185) wrestling tournament. Knee injury ended the senior campaign 3 matches into the season.
Rejoined the football team again as a sophomore and started my senior year as one of the most average lineman in the Centennial League.
I am available as a motivational speaker for any of your teams.

pretty sure I've said it before but it still boggles my mind that baseball is the first organized sport I played. It's boring, has confusing rules, and really difficult for little kids. Like the worst of everything for kids trying sports. I wonder how many kids got completely turned off of sports because they sucked at baseball when they were like 8 or 9 and that was their only option and they assumed they sucked at all sports. (granted that's changed but still)LOL at being introduced to sports at 8 or 9 anymore. By the time they are that age, baseball/softball kids have had 6 years of private instruction, outgrown $3000 worth of gear, had at least one Tommy John surgery, are practicing/playing 5 days a week year round and have played tournaments in 6 different states outside of their own. Soccer is almost as bad (no Tommy John though).
dng is out there battling todayHe has been our most dependable player since conference play started. He has been a pleasure to watch. Dude just plays hard.
Yes. Our flopper (TP) was much better than their flopper.Refs swallowed their whistles for us at the end, felt good.they really didn’t let wvu get the bullshit calls they were trying to get
Yeah, Kerr Kriisa was so bad at flopping that you either wanted to laugh, or punch him in the face.
We hosted a24 World Series and 5 AFC Championship games. Amaze.
YES!Smallville has a community youth basketball program that is underwritten by donations and the proceeds of an annual tournament. For $60 each year, kids get (basic) uniforms, two 90 minute practices per week plus 15 - 20 games during the season when entry fees covered by the youth bball association. Kids have always had good coaches (with one glaring exception). Not enough court time to get your kid a D1 scholarship but they are able to understand the fundamentals of basketball well enough to enjoy participating in their school's team by the time they get to middle school. Seems like participation in club volleyball has exploded here over the past 5 -10 years. If kids aren't participating in a club team they are hopelessly behind when they get to middle school and it is a waste of time to try and get started in the game at that point.
This is how youth sports should operate.
