Little League Basketball season approaching

From Daniel Hedges

I am pleased to announce some planned improvements to make this program better this year. I do have a cheer director now. It was a quick and numerous response. We will need coaches for our basketball teams when the season arrives.

The biggest issue last year was unbalanced teams in one division especially. I felt horrible and anyone who peddled the fact I has a vested interest in doing this was blatantly wrong. This year we will have evaluation evenings with the high school basketball staff and create groupings. I also have a couple of consultants to inform me on skill levels. I will use this information to create more balanced teams. With this said, I cannot honor everyone's request for a certain coach. These requests led to some of the balance issues with teams last year. It can't be both ways.

We are working on getting hanging goals on the regular goals for the different age divisions and eliminating the mobile goals we used for the smallest division.

With enough interest, I plan on offering the league for students with disabilities again.

Signups, evals, etc will come in September.

We plan to require bands this year to assist with man-to-man defense.

Thank you and I look forward to a good season.
