I was reading the Western Australia's e-newsletter. They give all 12yr olds and under a backpack whenthe kid joins a team. It had soemstuff in it. This woudl be a great way to encourage kids here in the states. Has USMS or USA Swimmign ever done anyhting like this?
I know here it is really hard to get kids to stay through the season. ASlso, as soon as the Y's basketball season starts, many leave. It is weird becasue the Y runs both programs. Therefore, they don't lose out.

I think Dorothy's point is that YMCA basketball typically requires one practice a week for about an hour, then a game on Saturday (at least that's the schedule here). The game is over in under an hour, and if a kid gets a basket or two, he's pretty happy.
