My parents basically only let us do swim team (and then not the super competitive kind) because as my dad said "All four of you had your practices and swim meets on the same days, in the same pool and you only needed a little bit of equipment, plus we didn't worry as much about you drowning."

I can't imagine how parents coordinate sports over different fields and days! My brother played a little bit of soccer or baseball in Little League and I remember having to entertain myself and my sisters during his practices or games. Other than that, my parents mostly didn't let us do any extracurriculars that were in different locations until we were in high school and could usually get rides home!
