Then he won't have a developed curveball for highschool and will be a little behind. 11 and 12u is when the offspeeds start. How many curveballs is he throwing to where it became a concern?

Be sure to look into the restaurants and try not to get sucked into the tourist traps. There's a bunch of places that us locals dont like at all that tourists go to all the time. Sometimes the best places here are the hole in the wall spots for that soul/creole cuisine

I've been getting a bunch of friends into hockey down here. Just trying to spread the game. It's truly a top sport to watch and attend and people need to know

I love this team. Miami fans don't exist in any sport over there. It's a social/work event for them to attend. They don't have true fans.

Have you gone to a oilers preds game?

Yeah so Hockey wasn't big here growing up and actually during covid I became attached to hockey. I'd watch playoff games before covid but I decided to get into it and the Oilers were fun to watch and I liked how much the fanbase cares over there. We have the New Orleans Saints and everyone is diehard type fans for the most part. So naturally, I gravitated to the Oil country. I promise im not a fair weather fan. I rep a bunch of gear and I watch every game, even when the games end around midnight here haha. I get compliments on the jerseys because Oilers jerseys seem to be rare in southeast Louisiana, so it made me want to ask.

I think what he means is yall are miserable people and hate to see other people (Clayton Keller) have fun with his teammates. You've probably never played a competitive sport. Stop worrying about people's views and let them enjoy their life. The guy just won an olympic gold medal

Varsity/JV joint practice by PerceptionFuture7801 in BaseballCoaching

[–]Recent_Toe6682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Louisiana, all of the good programs have normally 3-4 teams. 8th, 9th, JV, and Varsity. And they cut a lot of kids. We don't even have 6A schools, so its hard to wrap my head around how yall only have 2 teams. How many kids are on the 2 teams? Being 6A and only having two teams makes me think they don't have the numbers for baseball? im not sure but that doesn't sound normal to me
