This years basketball was not up to par. It started with the shirts, which weren't heat-set and the applique washed off the first time they were washed. The 'volunteers' came out great, but all the kids/players shirts ended up looking 10 years old in one week.
Then is was a lack of hoop-la.
In the past there was a smoke machine or at least a streamer curtain to run thru when the players came onto the court. This year, nothing.
In the past there was a professional photographer taking the individual and team pictures. This year, someone with a camera and the kids lined up on the wall.
Finally it was time for the end of season pizza party and awards. A miss-communication caused not all the players to show up at the correct time for the party. Pizza was lacking, not enough for everyone....and there were no awards like there have been in the past. Usually they got a medal and a gift and a booklet of all the teams. This year they got the gift (the basketball) and a very small baggie of candy. No apology for the shirts either. We paid for those shirts. The volunteers got them for free. Canyon loves playing and I hate to not let him because there isn't a lot for him to do....but this time, it was simply not worth it :(
