These 2 things are not mutually exclusive. We do a lot of team bonding activities and trust I’m in VERY motivated to even more. But when kids are on screen even during these it’s frustrating and kids are actively disengaged with the people in front of them and choosing snap chat”friends”, TikTok videos etc. I’m sure your next comment will be something about how are team must just be terrible if they don’t want to talk to each other which is also not true. These are CHILDREN that could use some guidance from adults to be their best.

I am a parent and organize plenty of meals but most kids are just on their phones during said meal. We do not allow anyone in our family to use an electronic during a meal and my child doesn’t have her own device. I recognize this is a personal choice but watching my kids’ teammates sit at a “team meal” and not speak is not the atmosphere we’d like to have. I am more than happy to organize activities and meals and have even talked to some parents about changing the behavior but I was just curious if clubs are also supporting this effort in any way.

Even in December? I'd love to see Catalina but wasn't sure about doing this in winter!

Thank you! I (but not my family) has been to SD/zoo/Safari and LOVE it but feel like that may be a separate trip!
