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 it all depends on where you live and the types of programs available. We are fotunate to have leagues for all levels here in both swimming and basketball. As each level increases in competitiveness, so does the commitment required.
Are there different levels of noodling, now that is a question that must be asked.
