The year was 1987. A gallon of gas cost 89 cents, Three Men and a Baby was the top-grossing movie, and I was part of a historic gathering that forever shaped the direction of youth sports in this country.
The National Alliance for Youth Sports was proud to convene organization leaders and various experts in Washington, D.C., to take an in-depth look at the state of organized youth sports.
We were there to provide some guidance and direction for recreation directors and parents, who were orchestrating sports programs for children in their communities.
