The Tommy Moe League is just for fun.

I don't care if the kid comes in last every time, as long they're improving and learning and having fun, that's the important thing.

You don't want to throw a kid into gates who's still skiing in a big, wide wedge. You want them to be able to ski well before you introduce them to gates.

Pushing kids too early is a problem I've seen through the years. If you start them too early, by the time they're in high school they're burned out on it.

We're hoping to expand the league and get more kids involved, and introduce them to racing.

The only players that are having fun are those having a good year, feasting on pitching or blowing down hitters and garnering all the adulation that goes with it. But, if you're not hitting or not throwing well, or are injured, you better look for fun someplace else.
