It's not always the Manager who wins the most that is the one who does the best job. The Manager who works to develop youngsters with little talent, who brings out consistency in more skilled players, and who teaches the lessons of life which carry into adulthood . . .although they have few awards to show for it, they ultimately are the most successful. Awards are soon forgotten, but the character instilled in children will last a lifetime.
Sports do not build character. They reveal it. Haywood Hale Broun
| The District will be having monthly Umpire Meetings/Clinics every 3rd Saturday of the month starting in September. All Umpires, Board Members, Coaches, or anyone wanting to learn more about Little League Umpiring are encouraged to attend. Time is 1:00 PM at the Fort Myers American Fieldhouse. The District Umpire test will be given monthly at the conclusion of the meeting. |
