AntiWood Youth Sports

As I grew up playing baseball in Antioch I always wished there would be a website that would be up to date on standings...stats...team rosters...etc. Although different leagues made attempts at websites it always felt like the projects were rushed or incomplete. That is something I would like to change.

When AntiWood gets built there will be different "channels" on the website to reach certain activities going on throughout our cities. We will say go to AntiWood Keyword: Youth Sports and an entire portal will open up with the latest stats from every league that wants to participate on our site. We will sponsor teams throughout the two cities and pour money into their programs to help out the youth with better equipment and uniforms. But to do this there would need to be a conscious effort from many parties to pull this off. If executed correctly we'd create a virtual scrapbook for youth sports that would last forever.

Imagine when you're 40 years old and you want to remember your playing days at Antioch Babe Ruth. All you'd have to do is log-on to AntiWood. We are a site that will never fail. We aren't a data-mining fad that is going to be phased out. Our site is based on building a strong community. By showing our youth how to build strong organizations we are doing them a great service.

To really pull this off I see the following things would need to happen:

1) The AntiWood site transitions into more of a portal site and we ditch Blogspot. This will take time though and will not happen over night.
2) When we recruit real employees for AntiWood one of them will have to dive in to this project. Going to board meetings. Asking parents what they would want to see. Etc.
3) Parents would have to step up their game as we would rely on them to submit the scores and stats to our AntiWood web designers to update the site. Instead of watching Desperate Housewives parents will take 10 minutes out of their night and upload (legitimate) stats through our AntiWood app or whatever method we create to do this.

If we pulled this off we would make youth sports a lot more fun and interesting for the next generation of athletes. And we would attract people to our city to play in our sports leagues knowing that free press is involved. It's a win-win for everybody involved. This is just one of the hundreds of AntiWood projects I am designing for my future employees to get involved in. I believe this one is a for-sure winner and would be a great thing for the community. I really do hope it happens one day.
