Hey Larry

I had a great conversation with Gary as it relates to rolling Connecticut teams in as well. As you are probably aware, CONNY has remained static as far as its mission and so as with LI there is a lack of clarity and organization around a true ADM (American Development Model) for Lax players up thru HS.

Someone posted about the need for a tiered approach. In Connecticut, unless you are from lower Fairfield (Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Ridgefield, Wilton, there are a a few others), the lack of true lax culture in your town dictates the very casual approach to the sport.

We have Fall and Summer and do play Box in the Winter - but it is unfortunate that kids who really play the sport have to go backwards and spent 3.5 months in a play date setting with kids that do not work on the game, have an IQ or can even catch and throw on a consistent basis.

The idea's time has come - and I want to thank you guys for jump starting some much needed rational thinking.
