My younger son is now having fun His coaches have been so very supportive even though it was a little frustrating at the begining because he had very little baseball skills They have such a positive nature that my son and the whole team have come together and become a very good team that could possibly finish in the top 3 teams in their division They are competitive but with a positive and believe in yourself attitude This is what we need to see in little league not parents and coaches yelling and arguing about plays and calls I just wanted to take the time to say Thank You to all the coaches that support this way of thinking and playing for it reflects a positive way for our children and their parents Hopefully this way will catch on all over our nation and we will see a big change in the way our children act when they themselves are coaches and parents This way is simply COMPASSION something that we need to get back into our world and what better way to start than with our own children Thank you again and plea...
