That is great! I'm glad that you Should have the numbers. Just make sure that the "decision makers" for your league have all kids at heart. Not just the ones that need to develop, but the ones that need competition as well. You see, FBALL,
as Bill Gates said, "Competition is always a fantastic thing, and the computer industry is intensely competitive. Whether it's Google or Apple or free software, we've got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes."
and even Simon Cowell said,
"The object of this competition is not to be mean to the losers but to find a winner. The process makes you mean because you get frustrated. Kids turn up unrehearsed, wearing the wrong clothes, singing out of tune and you can either say, "Good job" and patronize them or tell them the truth, and sometimes the truth is perceived as mean.
As long as it is done correctly, there is a way to develop, coach, nurture and COMPETE! As long as the coach is good enough.
