Today (August 25) was sign up day for youth baseball  (T-Ball) in Palm Beach Gardens.  I have to tell you, I do not know who was more excited my son (who is 5) or myself. The league office was ready for everyone and I have to inform you how easy the sign up went.  I really thought it would be an all day event.  We where in and out in under ten minutes.

When I first moved to Palm Beach Gardens ten years ago I volunteered as a manager/coach for this league  and swore off volunteering again until I had a  child ready for this league.  Well today was the day I was more than happy to volunteer as a Coach (if they need me).  It is so exciting to me to watch the games through the children's eyes.

While going to Florida State University in Tallahassee I was a volunteer at the YMCAwhere I coached Basketball and Football for the under privileged.  This really showed me how fortunate I was growing up in Miami and having some great coaches when I played Baseball.  I felt I owed it to these men who gave of their time to help me and show me what good coaching was about in Youth Sports.

As soon as we got back in the car my son started with the barrage of questions.  Daddy what team will I be on? Daddy will you be my coach?  Daddy when is my first practice? Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..... 

It seems like only yesterday I was the one in the back seat of my fathers car asking him the same questions.  Where does the time go?
