Main thing we did to keep up with the times is to form travel/tournament teams at the beginning of the season (by tryout) and adjusted our in-league rules to keep players playing in both league and travel without penalty or overuse. Lots of Sunday baseball for those desiring it.

Our enrollment rose to over 1,000 players and our league began to win section and region tournaments with regularity and nearly made it to the World Series on several occasions.

We also doubled the number of kids who moved onto HS baseball and saw about 10-times the number of kids eventually move onto college or pro ball.

We were Pony-affiliated and ran everything we did by the Zone office.
