This year, the City of Florence is hosting the DYST at Freedom Florence. Both Minors and Major are playing here this week. So, 24 teams from all over the state are participating in this thing and it is an awesome spectacle. I have the privilege of serving on the tournament committee (in a very minor role) and I am getting to watch this thing from the ground up. And, believe me, there is a lot of work going in to making this thing happen. You wouldn’t believe it.
It makes me appreciate our City of Florence Recreation department. It makes me appreciate volunteers who give hundreds of hours just to make this event happen. It makes me appreciate the Dixie Youth organization and all these folks do for the kids.
Is there a down side?? Only when coaches act like knuckleheads, and that has only happened a couple of times so far. And, after all, it IS a tournament, so you know that will happen.
Would I do this again?? IN A HEARTBEAT!!
