Can we do anything anymore without something somewhere harassing us to "get better" at it?

Couldn’t agree more! For us the most important is to make sure it is a joyful and fun experience for all players. What we have experienced is that kids love experiencing mastery, and getting better motivates all players to play more ball, regardless of level.  Therefore, building core skills becomes a result more than a goal in itself. And it's great fun to play together, competing with your own best score, or against the world!  Don't be afraid to throw Team Backyard League a challenge as well.  We're ready for you!
