CardiffBaseball: My Pee Wee team is D2 as well, and all brand new players.
What I find absolutely amazing is how quickly the team (I have a 28 player roster) has pulled together. My focus is always on conditioning and fundamentals; nothing fancy on either offense or defense and the kids have taken to it like ducks to water.
The only caution I ever offer to parents of a kid new to tackle football is that first game. In Pee Wee and Jr Midget, he will be encountering players that have been playing 4 to 5 years of tackle ball and, in some cases, have really mastered the art of the hit. They will target kids who are just standing around on a play and/or not paying attention.
I teach my kids the “ABC rule”: Always Be Conscious – know what’s going on around you, keep your head up and always pay attention.
Yeah, that whole set up at LCC HS is really nice. I saw the gym and indoor facilities, too. Fallbrook UHS is getting renovated, but the difference between the two high schools is unbelievable. LCC paid about $1MM more and got about 2 to 3x the facilities for their money.
