Out there is a particular neighborhood that wants to be included. To me that's not as important as the kids. I don't want to split neighborhoods and communities.

We'll have to find the funds, and when you have to find the funds for one thing then it means you have to take them from something else.

This is going to be a whole hell of a lot different than what would be the next time we do it because there's already thoughts out there.

The kids really took to it. I showed them some samples, gave them a quick demo and set them loose, and it was amazing.

We have a dozen kids who get the chance to go through another 12-year-old season. I think that helps the league so much. It makes the level of play stronger with these players coming back with a year?s experience under their belt.

Other kids did drugs; I did crafts. I never knew where I fit in.
