''It Was Fun''

Sports for youngsters have changed drastically in the last forty years. Gone are days when boys used to gather at a field on a summer day to play baseball from dawn to dusk; to make rules, argue, work out solutions, and continue play. They also participated in team sports, but not to the level of organization of youth sports today: all-star teams, travel teams for all ages, and a parental focus on making it to the big leagues. This book presents observations made over years of coaching, to raise thoughts for parents and coaches to consider what youth sports are today.
