This year our little Pork Chop has begun playing tackle football with our local youth football league the Patriots. Pork Chop plays on the pee wee team which is 5 and 6 year olds.  Each age group has their own team.

They are a top notch program. The practices are tough but very effective and organized. The coaches are professional, caring and dedicated. The facilities are the best in town. Our little team had worked hard but had a 0-4-1 record until two weekends ago when we played our arch-rival the Hurricanes. We beat their socks off on their home field. 3 – 2. Way to go Pee Wee!

I am disappointed however in one of the other teams that we played two weekends ago.

During the Junior game a fight broke out among the coaches. Apparently there was a scuffle on the field between two players and a Patriots coach broke up the fight. Then the Hurricanes, the opposing teams, coaches ran onto the field and began fighting with the Patriots coaches.

At one point you see a Hurricane coach run up and blindside a Patriots coach in the back! This is not appropriate behavior for a coach! Grow up!

I wish I could see the attacking coaches face so I would know never to interact with him. But unfortunately I will have to walk around town and maybe run into that monster.

You can see the video here.

Lets hope that these coaches and young men learned a valuable lesson that acting like idiots is NOT appropriate behavior!

Spring is a wonderful time if you are a baseball fan. Especially if you are a little league player, parent or coach.

Most little leagues organizations are beginning to organize, take applications and get coaches lined up for the big season ahead.

As I was thinking about coaching again this year I was offered the opportunity to write an article about and promote Radar Sports.

Radar Sports has some great products for everyone from professionals to little league fathers who want to see just how fast their kid can pitch.

The radar gun that I like is a a very affordable $176.95. Not only do they carry the entry level guns from Tracer but you can move up to higher end guns from Stalker.

All of Radar Sports systems come with free UPS shipping in the continental United States and all items are always in stock.

They are not only specialized in baseball however, carrying radar equipment for every sport including soccer, hockey, golf, softball, tennis and remote control cars. These radar guns make a great gift for coaches and parents in any sport!

In addition to sports radar equipment, they carry radar equipment for police and traffic applications. I could imagine using the radar to catch the crazy teenager at the end of our cul-de-sac speeding down our street. His father would love to see the speeds I can imagine I could clock him at!

So all of you reading this post that know me personally, be sure to mark a radar gun from Radar Sports on your list of gift ideas for me : )
