Isn't there another league that you can join where you can meet people that are nicer where you can have fun. I bowl Thursday nights and I love it. Most of the people are very friendly and we have a great time. I would never subject myself to these rude people. You want to have fun and not be afraid to go bowling for fear of not enjoying yourself.

A few years back I tried joining a ladies bowling league sm
on Tues. mornings. Worked out perfect since I'm off Tuesdays. Here's the dilemma. Most of the women (90%) were so rude to me. No matter how friendly and nice I was to them (which I am very outgoing) it just did not matter.
I'm thinking of joining it again. How does one put up with bad attitudes in this situation? Don't I have the same right as they do?? I mean, just because I'm young doesn't mean I can't be there. The bowling alley was the one who put me on the stupi*d league in the first place! I should add that my average at the time was 160 (I've been on leagues since I was 8 years old) and I am an above-average bowler. Now my average is even higher. I was constantly winning small pots due to high game (200s or more).
Why am I so afraid of going back? There were at least 75 women in the league. Most of them retired. Why do older women like that have bad attitudes? Is it the environment? Jelaousy? You'd think after all those years they'd be over that. There are no men around, so it can't be jealousy. I'm so upset and annoyed and I haven't even signed up yet! UGH!
I was sore from bowling!
After playing it all night when we first got it, I woke up this next morning and my right shoulder was killing me! I mean, I lift weights regularly, and I don't even get as sore from that! I also love the tennis one, and I take the Wii Fitness test almost every day! I am getting Mario Galaxy and the Mario Olympic games next week, and I can't wait! I also have to recommend the Rayman Ravid Rabbids game as that has to be the FUNNIEST game I have ever seen! Shooting toilet plungers at crazy screaming bunnies! LOL!
My sis has a Wii and the bowling game is great....
you get some exercise, can have a drink or so while playing, and don't have to smell like cigarettes when you get home. Or spend any money on shoes etc. LOL.

They probably have a chapter near you. I'm sure they can help.
Just becaue the league itself
does not consider it fraternizing, your husband's job does. He needs to emphaze that to the league officials not only because of his job, but also because of the way your son is being treated. I would not heistate to bring this up.
However, concerning the background check, if theft was all this coach did, it would not disqualify him from helping with the team.
We have emphasized this to the league
president. Unfortunately, he chooses to see it differently. I agree that this guy should not be prevented from helping the team. We've emphasized that as well to the president. He just chooses not to accept the implications of this situation with my husband's job.
As I said below, my husband is having the superintendent write a letter on his behalf. I'm not expecting anything, but we'll see.
More than anything, I'm irritated with the fact that the frustration of the situation is being taken out on my son. I'm pretty contained, but if this kid hurts (verbally or physically) my kid, I'm not going to be too calm about it.
Free bowling for kids this summer - sm
I just got told about this yesterday, it's a summer program thru Aug. 31 for kids to bowl for free, 2 games a day until 5pm, for the whole summer, just have to pay shoe rental. I signed us up for it, have a nice place here about 30 mins from us on the list of participating bowling alleys, and we are set. They also have a family plan that is $23.95, and up to 4 adults can bowl too w/o incuring any additional fees except for shoes again. Last time we went it was $100 for 4 people, 2 games, shoes, a pizza and a pitcher of soda. So this is a steal. Just thought I'd put the word out. I plan on buying us all shoes so we can save on rental, and will break even on those in 2-5 visits/person depending on what I spend. Our place charges $5/person/game and $4.50 for shoe rental, so one outing for us (4) with no food, 2 games, $58, so we go rarely. Just thought I'd pass this on!

For goodness sake, it's only a little league game..
this is why sports parents should be made to just sit down and shut up. Wow, you have a lot of resentment towards this woman to make such comments about her. Bring the earplugs or stay home.

I was the first girl in the county play Little League - made the All Stars too! Girls rule! Also..
that very same year I won the county spelling bee! The word I won it on was "ptomaine."
One other special thing happened to me that year I got my ears pierced and hit a home run on my 10th birthday. I swear it... I totally remember touching my little gold studs before I got up to bat and then "crack." Even the people that didn't like me playing because I was a girl had to cheer. 1978 was awesome.
My grandma also played baseball during WWI.
This thing is not connected to the above, but I am related to Martin Van Buren, 8th President.
