Too much emphasis on showing well and not playing well as a team. I say this as a firm believer that winning is not everything, but if they are keeping score it would be great to have the games mean something with a championship game to hopefully compete for. It will be great to see the kids play again for each other and not for the college coaches.


Where was your son competing in UX age groups since almnost nowhere in the mid-Atlantic and/or NE follows any age based system(s) (although they should!)??
