re: Rec leagues for tiny kids are a waste of time.

They have basketball for -5-6 yr olds. They gave up on teaching them to dribble with the basketball and instead they run with it to the goal and someone will just grab it and wrestle it from the ballrunner and run the other way….repeat. Sad to watch and they keep a score

My daughter plays 5-6 at our local Y. They try to teach dribbling, but as expected, it isn't very successful with 5-6 year olds.

They don't let them just run around with the ball, there has to be an attempt at dribbling, otherwise they will blow the whistle.

I love watching my daughter's games. They get so excited when they score.
