Not a good league for those looking to have their child learn and be nurtured. Those in charge run the league without putting whats best for kids in forefront. They Care more about their own egos and desire for championships than giving kids the opportunity to learn and develop in a recreational setting. No flexibility is given for families and life balance . On several occasions parents have been told only excused absence is death in family, accusatory complaints made if a child is hot or tired that parents aren't feeding them correctly, practices outside in heat and smoke causing heat exhaustion, punishment for missing practice even with notice given for personal reasons or if simply ill, and overall negative demeanor displayed by those in position of power. Very disappointing for what is supposed to be environment of learning and development over a competitively driven environment. Absolutely no welcoming vibes from those in charge of league. Individual coaches are great and willing to develop players with understanding and kindness. Does teach stamina and work ethic overall, but demeanor of those in charge unfortunately overshadows the coaches best intensions. A change in leadership and policy would make a big difference in what this league provides to its youth.
