I think the key to getting back to the old days is for EVERYONE to try to introduce 6 newbies a year to the sport, especially the youth. Ashleigh (grand daughter) will get stick time this year. I started her at 6. We must continue to get the youth involved as they have a lot of other things to interest them nowadays.
