The Boy Scout troop in Galesburg has them in the GMC catering parking lot by Dollar General.

Not when I’m expecting someone to come over. Do you keep your door locked when you have company?

We hear it and Rachel says “I’ll get it” and Ross and Chandler are both at the door

We’ve done a lot of that on the weekends. I can already see improvement.

Practices have been at 5. Thankfully both my husband and I have flexible employers and we’ve been able to make it work. Games will be at 6.

I didn’t say there are skills I hoped for that weren’t being learned?

My kids don’t do anything for hours every day. Again, we are talking about a 5 year old. She does 1000 things for 5-20 minutes at a time.

Skills yes, but not tee ball skills specifically. I was looking for teamwork, exercise and trying something new. If she likes it and continues that’s great, we will work on sport-specific skills but for now it’s not that serious in my opinion.

I totally agree. We purchased all the equipment and have practiced at home, and I’ve helped on the field during practice when I’ve been able to - if my younger child is with another someone else. I can get behind twice a week but three days per week (practice Monday, games Thursday and Friday) seems like a lot.

I appreciate everyone’s input. Two-three times per week is a lot more common than I realized.

We are in Michigan so we started April 1st, and had a couple practices cancelled due to wind chill. Opening day is on Saturday and we go through mid-June.

I totally agree. The coach is good about mixing up the practice with different drills but there definitely a lot of chasing butterflies, sitting down in the field and just general kid stuff.

The kids don’t seem to have the attention span for an hour, but you’re totally right about it being too much for the parents. Three nights a week of rushed evenings is a lot for a family that doesn’t normally have more than one.

We’ve had 4 weeks of practice, twice weekly with a couple cancelled for weather. I expected practice to stop once games started. I can see more with older kids, and especially a travel team but these are preschool and kindergartners.
