I just received next weekend's schedule for CAL League and there's now a conflict. CAL has us playing at 9:00 am on Saturday (McCully Gym), but we already have a 9:00 am game that morning at the Aiea 12U League.
I wish there were no conflicts. I wish we could play just Sundays (and Fridays) in the CAL League as we requested, but the league is up against limited gym time in limited facilities. They're trying their best (Greydon Espinda, the commish) under tough circumstances, getting scheduling requests from a lot of teams, I imagine.
But on the other side, we wanted to play 12U and Aiea gave us that chance. We've been playing in that league for a few years (16U) and they posted a full schedule for us almost two weeks ago, and the games are strictly on Saturday mornings. When we started winter season, I really didn't expect us to have trouble getting enough guys for CAL middle-school division. If anything, I thought it would be hard getting enough 12U players.
Instead, it's the opposite. Ai caramba! It's mainly due to timing. So if you pray, pray for this: That we can get Friday and Sunday games in CAL. With four of our older/biggest players busy on Saturdays (football, church, intermediate school league), we need a blessing.
Otherwise, we have to make a tough choice, and I absolutely hate forfeiting. But we just don't have enough players on Saturdays to be in two places at the same time.
Update 3:40 pm I just talked with Greydon and he's going to help us (again). He'll look at the schedule try to tweak it. He has already been trying to help us avoid conflicts with the Aiea 12U schedule, but the Aiea schedule has changed a few times recently. Thanks to Greydon for his help!
