KIDS LEARNTO MEET AND GETALONG WITH OTHERS,THEY LEARN TO WORKAS A TEAM, THEYUNDERSTAND WHATIT MEANS TO HAVERULES AND FOLLOWTHEM, THEY LEARNDISCIPLINE, HOW TOCOMPETE, HOW TOLEAD AND MANYOTHER LESSONS THATIN MY OPINIONPREPARE THEMBETTER FOR LIFE.THIS PAST WEEKEND IFOUND MYSELFSITTING AT ANULTIMATETOURNAMENT - FORTHOSE OF YOU WHODO NOT KNOW WHATTHAT IS - IT IS ACOMBINATION OFMANY SPORTS WITHTHE GOAL OFADVANCING AFRISBEE DOWN THEFIELD AND INTO THEEND ZONE FOR APOINT.

THERE WASNO ARGUING,PROTESTING ORRANTING ABOUT ARULING MADE. IF YOUMADE THE CALL YOUMADE IT BECAUSE ITWAS RIGHT AND IFYOU WERE CALLEDFOR AN INFRACTIONYOU SIMPLY PUT THEFRISBEE DOWN ANDTHE OTHER TEAMTOOK OVER. THEMOST IMPRESSIVEPART OF THE DAYWAS WHEN A YOUNGMAN SEEMINGLYSCORED A POINTWHILE MAKING ADIVING CATCH.EVERYONE ON THEFIELD -PARTICIPANTS,COACHES AND FANSTHOUGHT HE HADSCORED.TO HIS CREDIT, HEREALIZED THAT THEFRISBEE HAD HIT THEGROUND AND OWNEDUP TO THAT.
