My family is looking to spend 8-10 days in Puerto Rico in late January or late February 2027. It will be 2 adults and 3 elementary school aged kids.

For the most part I would like to stay somewhere with easy access to the beach. Given the time of year, for safety this would probably mean staying in the Cabo Rojo area, but we would also like to spend a day at El Yunque, and possibly a day at Icacos. I would like to snorkel somewhere with my two older kids. I am not opposed to splitting our stay between two locations, but am having a hard time finding hotels that will allow 5 people in one standard room. This is pricing us out of a lot of places by forcing us to either get 2 rooms, or a fancy suite. Is Airbnb my best bet? Is there anywhere to stay in the North/East that has a safe beach within walking distance?

First time head coaching a 10u spring season (have assistant coaches, and head coached Fall).

I need to submit 4-5 girls to All Star tryouts. There are 2 other teams submitting payers as well. I should probably discuss with my assistants, but a couple of their daughters I do not feel are in contention. Who would you choose?

Player A: Probably the best all around infielder, except struggles with the throw from third. One of only 3 players making defensive outs this season (aside from pitching). Average batter. Smart, fast base runner, not a power hitter. Pitches, but probably not an All Star pitcher.

Player B: Best pitcher on my team, probably top 3-4 in our league. Decent in the field. Can be a power hitter, but is sometimes afraid to swing the bat. Strikes out looking against good pitchers. One of the 3 players making defensive outs.

Player C: Best Catcher on my team, probably top 3 catchers in the league. Batting is similar to player A.

Player D: Best batting average on our team. Can field well, but has had some fumbles at 1st.

Player E: Fields well, solid glove. Good hitter, timid base runner. The third girl making defensive outs. The newest of the bunch to this devision.

Player F: Strong Arm for throws from 3rd and outfield. Power hitter. Slow, timid baserunner. A bit lazy in the field and complained a lot in practices.
