I'm going out on a limb here & asking all coaches, managers & scorekeepers to log on & take this test. Even parents may want to consider the chance that they "MIGHT" be asked to help out & should really do this. It's not that hard, most folks will find it sort of "beneath" them it's so simple. The more people locally that will undertake this, the longer our list of "perspective" coaches becomes. It should begin to be public later this coming week that this is no longer a/an every 3 year deal. It's going to be a 1 & done deal. Take it (study the material if U need 2) until U pass.
I did & actually learned a couple of things. By changing to the 1 & done over the course of a coach/manager career, Babe Ruth has put to bed the "just another money making rip-off" flak they were catching nation-wide. Try it!
