Great thread. I didn't realize that LL was cancelled. Man, I feel so bad for these 11-13 yr olds.
In 2017, I fell snowboarding and had to get rotary cuff surgery. I was a rec coach of my 11 yr old's team and ran the town's summer sandlot program. But because I couldn't drive (my Jeep is a manual) my father in law had to drive us and my 13 yr old to all the practices and games. And oh, both did travel baseball...
We had the best spring and summer together. My father in law was a Navy doctor and we heard some awesome stories in the car rides. Practices were actually became fun when the kids had to help out more : )
Both sons made their respective Little League teams and played well. My younger son's team became rec champs that season (in spite of my coaching). My older son's 13/14 Junior League team had a great run, became NY state champions, but lost in the East Regional Finals--they were one game away from making the Junior League Little League World Series.
