What Did I Get Myself Into
I went to our local little league association meeting last night to meet with other coaches and parents to discuss this upcoming little league season. Little did I know that there was going to be an officer’s election taking place. Somehow I ended up getting voted in as the president of our little league association this year. After the meeting I met with the previous officers of the little league and was handed an inventory list for all the equipment that our teams have. It was quite a shock to find out how much of the little league equipment from last year is going to need to be replaced. Knowing how bad the economy was and how strapped for cash most parents are I started looking at ways to find low cost gear for our teams. I was pleasantly suprised to find that ebay has tons of baseball bats, softball bats, catchers equipment and little league training equipment listed for sale. I figured most of it would be used little league bats that parents were selling after kids had out grown them, but there was quite a bit of new items for sale as well. I did some surfing at the local sporting goods stores and compared the clearance little league equipment they had to the prices on ebay and most of the items on ebay were still less expensive than buying from a retail store.
