Little league is a great opportunity for parents to get together. I coached little league for several seasons. I met so many great people and enjoyed the experience. My daughter played little league softball and played softball in high school.
There is nothing like being out on a summer week night when you have to get up early the next day. Swatting mosquitoes, coaching and cheering on the kids.
Not trying to be a jerk, but what youth sports program isn’t run by volunteers? From little league to soccer to scouts.
I met 90% of my daughters’ friends on teams and their parents on the sidelines. Youth sports programs made my suburban town seem like an old time New England community.
