"One cool thing that’s happened lately in our largish city – high school Y sports have become a “thing” – for fun; mainly basketball. The kids who don’t make their HS teams have been playing Y Ball; there were over 40 11th/12th grd. teams playing through just one Y last year. "
Love to hear this!! We had some terrific park district programs, but they all end in 8th grade. If you don’t play 20 hours a week in high school and/or for an expensive club, there is no place for high schoolers to play.
