A concerning trend in youth sports is the how often the young kids are compared to their peers. It's an issue among programs monetizing sports participation, coaches evaluating/developing proficiency, and parents concerned their kids are falling behind. https://t.co/2QDnUPl7tf
On Friday night, we held our 1st annual “Sandlot” practice/final program practice of the regular season. Players wore their @GBNFeeder uniforms or favorite MLB uniforms. Congratulations to our lower levels on their seasons:

Middle America families stuck in the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time that is travel baseball.

It happened again.
An 11-year-old threw more than 160 pitches over a weekend because adults decided winning mattered more than arm care.
#Youth baseball has a responsibility to protect kids — not sacrifice their future for Sunday trophies.

Home plate is the cornerstone of a baseball diamond, and Randy has been the cornerstone of GBN since I was a student. He has earned his retirement and then some. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. I’ll do my best to keep the field in the same shape you did.
Spartans fall to the Cougars, 7-6, in extras but honor 35-year veteran groundskeeper, Randy Calabrese with home plate.

Beyond proud of these boys for how they’ve responded after a mid-season lull. They have been in every pitch and done their best to win each one of them.
Light the carrot!
