Update on the schedule
Schedules are under review by the parks and we hope to have them finalized by tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.
Thought of the week:
Many people are thanking us for all the insane work that has come to be this season. We are crossing over in 4 divisions, and I can tell you it's been insane.
But as I started to reply to one parent it's what we do. These words came to me -
It's all for the kids:
Players Playing, Cheerleaders Cheering.
Kids loving what they do, and learning to love this great sport;
The pure essence of life - where young people learn that effort, commitment, enthusiasm and team work combined lead to success;
The joy of a Win, the learning from a loss;
The lessons in leadership for both young and old;
What we do here is not measured in dollars and cents, not in time or effort, but in our hearts, and in the future of these young people we share it with each year. From the League, the Officials, the parks, to the coaches and team moms, the parents and fans in the stands, and the little brother or sister running in water, we all make this happen, and we are all truly fortunate to be able to share in this.
Good luck to all - may you all have an enjoyable and educational season!
ARE YOU READY?!?!
Time to play. Time to get out there and show us what you got inside. The season is upon us.
This is for the little kids in the helmets, and the big kids in the stands and on the sidelines - Remember:
1) HAVE FUN. The best make it look easy, because they are HAVING FUN. Win or lose, as long as you get better every game, every year, love what you are doing, and never quit you are a winner in the game of life.
2) SHOW GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP - If you aren't happy - with a the call, the way the other team plays or the anything else, show your character by being a good sport. Nothing sets a worse example for the kids then screaming adults - so be cool.
