A podcast about youth sports, the parents, the players, the schools and the clubs. We explore the different stories, perspectives and add some of our observations over the years. We use the name Judging Bouncing Balls because of the many times we have witnessed youth players misjudge a bouncing ball. We thought it humorous, and since we referenced it so many times in our broadcasts, we decided to make it the name of our show.
