Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 3010482, member: 1559"] Sometimes the parents need to step in. The parents of my son's baseball team wanted their kids to play multiple sports, but the elite teams wanted almost full year commitment or winter practices conflicted with hockey, basketball, ski racing. So, the parents hired a coach and we formed our own AAU team. Practice schedules were set up to avoid other sport conflicts and kids were allowed to miss practices for other sports. Kids and parents are happy. And, we have people asking to join our team because they like the philosophy. As an added bonus, the cost is about 1/3 of a traditional AAU baseball team because there is a lot of profit margin in youth sports and we run it to break even. [/QUOTE]
