Exceptions

Throughout the book I have spoken against young kids being involved in organized youth sports. There is an exception though. I support such organizations as the Boys and Girls Clubs where kids, often from poor and dysfunctional, are involved in organized sports. Often, the coaching, mentoring and even love these young kids get at such organizations is about the only time they get such attention. Their home life is often chaotic and uncaring, playing organized youth sports is a needed respite from their troubled situations at what they call home.
