    Mike appreciates all information on Middle Schools. He did a terrific job with this last year. Once the season starts, his threads are very active.

    Don't get ahead of yourself Dad & Mom

    Thoughts for middle school parents as these 2 years are very important for your child and you to enjoy.

    * Encourage your child, regardless of his or her degree of success or level of skill.

    * Ensure a balance in your student athlete’s life, encouraging participation in multiple sports and activities while placing academics first.

    * Emphasize enjoyment, development of skills and team play as the cornerstones of your child’s early sports experiences while reserving serious competition for the varsity level.

    * Leave coaching to coaches and avoid placing too much pressure on your youngster about playing time and performance.

    * Be realistic about your child’s future in sports, recognizing that only a select few earn a college scholarship, compete in the Olympics or sign a professional contract.

    * Be there when your child looks to the sidelines for a positive role model.

    Why cut kids so early?

    I have always wondered why there was not a 7th and an 8th grade team seperately. Do not see why so many 7th graders have to be cut when they are just getting to experience the big field for the first time. Seems like more kids would end up staying in the game and we would see a lot more kids also playing high school baseball. I am shocked that some high school have only 12 players each year.

    Oh well I am sure there is some brilliant answer!!

    Stretchy, i know that at some schools uniforms come into play.Not enough to go around.The school i am at we are going to keep atleast 22.Kids get hurt during the season and also grades have a big effect.
