Yesterday, we shared Bill Plaschke’s great article about volunteer dad coaches in honor of Father’s day. The same paper also employs one of our favorite columnists, Chris Erskine and he wrote a tear-jerker that we’d love you to read while you think about your own families. Happy Father’s Day.

There are many benefits to surfing that are clearly apparent. But one of our favorite columnists, Chris Erskine of the L.A. Times writes about how it is catching on as a legitimately-sanctioned sport in Southern California high schools. And his take is amusing and thought-provoking. The title, No screaming parents? And you call surfing a sport? should be enough to peak your interest. Very worthwhile read for parents of young athletes, even if you live in Nebraska.

We can always count on the Los Angeles Times’ Chris Erskine for an incisive wit that is more truth than parody. Enjoy his take on the upcoming “Big Game”.

The L.A. Times’ Chris Erskine has delivered another strike this morning with his article about the man for whom a surgery that has resurrected thousands of baseball careers was named, and his son. The two of them are crusading to spread the word about pitching injuries, especially in young arms. Parents, might want to read this.

Another enjoyable and humorous article from the L.A. Times’ Chris Erskine. This one, not on a topic we usually cover. But who knows, maybe the future holds a CoachDeck for Sumo Wrestling!

We love the Los Angeles Times’ Chris Erskine and we love youth baseball. That’s why we particularly love his latest piece, In the Ninth Inning of a Joyful Baseball Season. Its guaranteed to make you chuckle, and you may tear up a bit at the end. Just like coaching youth baseball.
