Solomon,

I agree, SCYSA staff and coaches are to be congratulated and thanked for making this a great experience for the kids.


Manchester,

I understand that a State DOC shouldn't be able to pull rank on a USSF "A" Regional Coach, but I saw some DOC's out there in Montevallo evaluating players, talking with coaches and covertly/overtly adding influence. Is it possible that some participated in meetings where pool players and holdovers were discussed?

Maybe I'm off base, but if a State DOC's opinion is held in high regard (he/she has a good rep & resume), can it help a player's cause?


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
