Fall Ball is 'Falling' quickly out of my good graces

Just a few hits on this Fall Ball experience.  So far, not a good one, financially anyway.  First off, we paid more for signup for the fall ball season, $70 instead of the regular season $60.  Apparently Barfield/Murfreesboro league is paid more than Christiana, cuz that didn't go very far as far as benefitting the team.  That got the team a shirt and a hat each.  The kids did not even get to choose their own number, so #18 is now #9, for the fall anyway.  That also did not include a name on the shirt.  The family's are responsible for supplying the pants, socks and belt too.  That particular leaque does not even include a trophy for their fall ball teams.  Yea, that was another $10.  On top of all of that, they may have mistakenly paired us with the traveling kid pitch leagues which will slaughter us in the games.  One because this is our first time playing kid pitch, this last regular season was still coach pitch.  We decided as a team we would do the fall ball so the kids could get some early practice at the kid pitch as most were moving up to 9/10 year olds.  The players that we may be up against are mostly 10 year olds that have played kid pitch already.  Something similar happened last year, two mismatched level teams, and two kids ended up being taken away in an ambulance.  So needless to say, I'm not too happy with this whole fall ball experience.  The Cub's first game is tonight, Tuesday, at 7:15pm.  We'll see how it goes.  Please keep our team in your prayers.  Go Christiana Cubs #9!! Woo hoo!!
