What towns are entering the PAL league, this Spring? Or, which towns are not? At this age, the numbers start to dwindle, as the kids get older. Anybody got some strong numbers?
My town has no issues getting kids to play PAL through 6th grade; the struggle starts in 7th and 8th grades, but that is to be expected with the boys all playing school ball. But even then, we usually still have teams for the MS boys, and they largely just show up to play games on Sundays - no practices once MS starts theirs.
How many kids you have at the 6th grade? Compare that to 2nd grade. How many less/more do you have now compared to then?
—so then just have a talk with your son. PAL is a chance for good players to become a better leader, coach on the field and teaches them to deal with adversity. How does he react when a kid drops a ball? Does he [ChillLaxin] and moan or pat his buddy on the back and get in the hole and play defense?? Look for ways to make the experience positive, because it is different than Club but still can be beneficial
