Encourage others to play

Who should be encouraging others to play?  We all should.  It isn’t just up to the captains to grow our league.  It is up to all of us. Let’s reach out to those wanting to learn but who are hesitant.  Offer to hit with them.  Suggest a teaching pro.  Point them to a clinic.  Give them real encouragement.  They may become a great asset to your team one day.  Not only encourage new players but reach out to those who’ve left league and might be leaning towards coming back if only someone would reach out.  Tell them we are trying to grow and make things fun again.  If you can get enough interested, consider breaking away from a team to form a new team to give them a place to play.  If we don’t get more captains we’ll always be limited in the number of teams/people that can play.  Who benefits from more people in the league and more teams?  It is not only those just joining or coming back.   It is all of us who play league.  So let’s all go out and be ambassadors for OUR sport and OUR league.
