As former residents of Cumberland, Rhode Island, for twenty-three years, it is with pride I share this link. The Cumberland Little League team, ages nine through twelve, won the New England Regionals this year but lost in the Little League World Series last night in double-elimination.
My husband, Charley, coached one of the Little League teams in Cumberland between 1979 and 1983. Both our sons played on his team and won the town championship.
Fast forward thirty-one years, as we watched our sons' assistant hockey coach, Dave Belisle, on television at the helm of the Cumberland Little Leaguers!
Please click on the link below to watch and hear Dave's words for the team last night after their loss. They serve as a reminder how to motivate and encourage children, while underscoring the benefits of team sports.
