I'm not sure if it's good news or simply end up being a labor of love but I just found out Wednesday that I have been elected to a NFCA subcommittee for college recruitment representing the travel ball class. The first thing I'm trying to pull off is to make time to fly to San Antonio, Texas to make a meeting on Wednesday. Next week is the annual convention there. I had no idea they selected in advance of the convention then expect attendance just 1 week later.
I'm still trying to understand how this happened. I believe they may have misunderstood my willingness to serve on one of the other committees as an act of an overzealous volunteer they could take advantage of. Subcommittee? Does that mean I get to sweep the floor during the meeting and listen in?
Regardless, I will give it my best effort to get a flight there and participate to the best of my ability. I've been to a couple of conventions and they are fun if you're a fan of the sport. The people involved are very nice and the acceptance of the travel ball community has improved over time.
Hey Joe, you going? maybe we can catch a sandwich between meetings.
