PAL in our town is a joke. The director thinks that having kids pass the ball to someone who can't catch is a terrific way of keeping the town together. There needs to be an A and B at some point. I believe it should be at 5th grade.
Any thoughts?


There are Suffolk PAL teams that evaluate at 5th grade. There will inevitably be unhappy kids/parents; however, in the age of travel lax, many kids wouldn't do it if they had heterogeneous teams. Sports, at their core, are about competition. Eventually, parents need to understand this and promote proper placement.
Is any other town doing A & B teams for 5th grade?
