    2020 youth sports what are leagues doing

    Not that I know of. Since Friday I have gotten emails about three other tournaments, two this coming weekend and one the following. Two of them are in Travis County, one of them may use gyms in the Austin city limits, so not sure if that will impacts things. Those didn't list out an protocol...

    2020 youth sports what are leagues doing

    I just got my first email looking for refs for an AAU tournament next weekend, just south of Austin. Here is their plan to keep everyone safe.

    You usually get what you pay for when it comes to AAU. They usually shop around for whoever will charge them the cheapest. Our area was undercut last year to a group of guys that lived 90 minutes away. Instead of $27/game ($25 ref, $2 coordinator) they only paid $22 and didn't have to pay a...

    It's usually not worth it. When you toss someone from these AAU tournaments, you have to find the site director (who usually aren't much help), then you get behind and all of your games are late and the same site director complains your games are too long. Though they after the ones trying to...

    One of the huge factors for myself that are more than just the money is how the league is being run. I know (for the most part) what I am getting, time-wise, scorekeeper, clock person when I go do a high school game. For various leagues, be it a rec league, travel league, men's league, the host...

    Tryouts

    One of the coaches said, "He's a good shooter, he made all his shots." This kid shot with his feet facing outward, shot with two hands with the ball starting at stomach.

    Tryouts

    I just moved and wanted to coach this season, so unfortunately my options were limited. It's even worse, as I get the first 3 picks of these groups of kids, and 8 of these kids will be my entire team. Two of the kids were decent (or as decent as you can look for about 90 seconds of action) and...

    Tryouts

    I've recently moved and yesterday got my first experience with a whole different set of "tryouts" or "evaluations." This is only for a 13-14 rec team, since there is only rec here (I believe the levels here are ymca/rec/aau and there is no concept of travel). We had about 17 kids show up for...

    SOSH Running Dogs

    A couple of questions. Did you run it with people you knew? Did you do anything specific training wise? I'm not sure that the total distance is too much, as much as it is the run/sit/sleep in a van/run/repeat aspect that seems challenging. I guess kind a personal recap of your various...

    SOSH Running Dogs

    Does anyone have any experience with a Ragnar or C2C race? My wife and I are considering joining a team for the Ragnar in Austin in April. Everything I've read makes it sound like a great time, but I don't know anyone personally who has participated, just friends-of-a-friend types so I haven't...

      I would say it totally depends how many miles you are running relative to the long runs.    For my wife and I, our first few marathons we way over-valued the long runs. I guess there is a physiological benefit to knowing you have "run 20 miles." But our last few marathons we switched to...

    It works in High School, complain enough and you can get a boundary exception and go to a new school. Complain enough in AAU and you can get a new coach or find a new team.   I'm sure these parents are well-versed in getting their way. Unfortunately, it doesn't surprise me that the behavior...

    The email complaints are always gold to me. Here was my favorite from this year:   This years rec basketball season has came to an end, and I have to say the referees have been horrible. My son has taken a beating this year from kids, and does not go to the line like he should. The referees are...
