There's a new item at Bobwhite Blather: 'The "I Just Want to Play" League'

If you're the parent of a child involved in organized sports, you are
undoubtedly aware of how competitive playing a game has become. And it's not the
children who are competitive - it's the parents. Sure, many of the kids want to
get in there and do well at their sport, but the parents push them to do better.
Many are finding that other parents have outdone them, enrolling their kids in
special training camps, instructional sessions and skill drills in hopes they'll
make it in a highly-competitive league. They plead with teachers and school
administrators to do what they can to give their children better grades so
high-profile college teams won't dismiss them. Recreational leagues can be
cut-throat. Parents scream at the children and coaches from the sidelines during
games. And this all starts - incredibly - in grade school.

league. They just want to play.
