I played at Lakeshore, and right now, it’s the strongest playground in JPRD. They’re pulling kids from Lakeview, no other playground can touch them.
Kings Grant....say's hello.

im not trolling. being proud, and it being a point of pride like the op described, of the playground you played ball in is fricking weird. let me guess...you think the A&M cult is just civic pride too?
Dude, do you have any idea the infatuation of the adults with youth and high school sports in Texas and Alabama?

How many playgrounds and teams did your "small town" have? Every neighborhood in greater New Orleans is almost its own small town with its local businesses, organizations and playground. Or at least they were to a certain extent. Civic pride, no different than yours.
small town same pride, but maybe 1 kid knew kids on other teams we played.
either way when coaches coached and teams competed it was way better than the wreck ball that decimated rec ball

there is nothing wrong with having pride in a high school, i was talking an adult being proud of where he played youth sports. not the team he played for, not how he performed but the frickign playground he played for
as far as hs nothing wrong with having pride and being proud of your school. i was talking abotu the so called pecking order and how you are treated as a 2nd class citizen after hs in some circles of nola if you didnt go to the correct one. normal people dont really give a frick where you went to school outside of maybe talking about old times or old games, they sure as shite dont judge you as an adult based off where you went to school.
i would laugh at any adult that mentioned they were proud having grown up playing at a certain playground.

i played in a small town and played against teams from other towns but i sure dont have a sense of pride about what fricking little league i went to. Plenty of friends that played in other towns....but i dont go around saying well....i played at such and such park...becuase im not a frickign loser.
Louisiana has the highest percentage of born residents of any state. 78% of residents were born here.
So it makes sense that residents here would have more pride and connection to the structures of their youth, then people in any other state.
If you go to Cinco Ranch in Katy and ask the adults there where you went to high school... 90 percent of them would tell you a school you never heard of because it's in another place.

Not in South Louisiana.
Maybe other places.
I have seen and umpired tons of 7U travel ball games here in South Lousiaiana. Sorry to bust your bubble.

f they just stopped letting waivers happen, girard would lose a lot of numbers. They made this issue themselves
How long has this waiver system been in play?
Letting new kids choose their playground, and letting existing kids pay a one time $25 fee to change it... is going to create a few mega-playgrounds.

I know we’ve got a bunch of Girard Vikings on here. Miss those days.
I would love to see a resurgence of kids at the JPRD parks. Most my friends came from the playground.

they can still play rec and travel ball can be free...all you have to do is work and raise the money and find sponsors.
Then it isn't "free". Working to raise money is working to earn money!

Every travel ball org in louisiana pretty much has fundraisers
Yep, and it's all a big circle of money. One team has a tournament one weekend to raise money for their team. A portion of the entry fee goes to the team. Next weekend, another team has a fundraiser tournament where a portion of the entry fee goes to that team. You can't figure out that scam? You're just passing the money around.

There's a pretty well known movie that is based on certain towns in Texas and the dads obsession with their sons playing for the same football team they played for.
To the point where the young backup QB told his dad "I don't want your life!"

this... if travel ball stayed in the 90s model where only the best of the best played AFTER the rec season... the quality of rec ball would be much better... becasue of better quality players and coaches
This is arse backward mentality. Par for the course for New Orleans people.
If the best players played rec ball all season with a bunch of shite coaches and shitty nonfunctional teammates how good would their "all star" squad be? Rec is for fun and something to do to stay active. Not a true Developmwntal environment for kids who want to excel at their sport.
