Nepotism runs deep all around the island, but at the end of the day the best thing your kid can do is work their butts off day in and out in practice and give the coaches no reason to bench them.

In my town have seen upperclassmen who are bigger/stronger/faster get benched for 8th graders who weigh 120lbs soaking wet and when the PAL Director is part of a big organization and just so happened to play college ball with the varsity coach ..... well it makes you wonder.
