Both grandsons play on the respective jr high and senior high school teams. They also both play football, baseball and paintball.

None of which are offered at the Villages summer camp. They both agreed, once you get over the age of 14, the Villages no longer has an interest in your summer fun. They used to have more fun planning on their own what they would do up here.

Hmmmm ........ sandlot baseball, now there's an original idea for kids to do
during the summer. Wonder why the district couldn't put together a few games. Maybe some REAL soccer matchs and paintball in the woods.

Seems a lot more fun than painting a piece of glass when your 14-16.

Our almost 14 year old grandson is coming to TV......does anyone know if there are batting cages in or near TV? Thank you
