My youngest is playing on a All-Star 8u team right now. Boy its like a circus sometimes. Coaches, parents, umps, teammates yelling out instructions. Girls running every which directions, lots of tears from unhappy girls that last 30 seconds, and un-syncronized chants from the dug out. I love it !! I wish she would never get older. She is also moving up to 9u this next year. I remember when my 14u did this. Its like moving on to the pro's for them.
