Kids and Sports...

So I don't know if I mentioned before that this season of the boy playing baseball is our first experience with sports. I was never one to push the boy into anything...just gently inquire and up till this year he was not interested in joining any sports. Having been a child that was forced into dance lessons long after I was completely 'over' them...I was determined never to push the boy into something he wasn't really interested in...not to mention the waste in money if I couldn't convince him to attend...

Anyway...I've just got to rant here a bit about our coach...the man never speaks...is obviously painfully shy...so I really try not to fault him and us other parents have really tried to pick up the slack by yelling the plays to the kids as they go...who knew 8/9 year old kids had no clue how the rules of the game work...actually who knew that most of us adults didn't even know...okay maybe that's just the women lol (but 6 weeks in...I think we're all getting it!). But the kicker is how disorganized he is. We found out last night that the kids have a tournament this Saturday...that will be 3 games back to back and a total of about 6 hours...wow! We had already planned to attend Family Fun Day at the boy's daycare so he's less than thrilled.

Please pray we at least have sunshine on Saturday...if I'm spending 6 hours outside I want it to be sunny and warm!

Oh dear - I think that's one of the big problems with sports activities where all the coaches are volunteers (I'm assuming he's a volunteer, if not he should be fired!) You win some & lose some in the luck of the draw. Evie's first soccer coach was a high school girl who was late half the time & never had anything planned out. That following spring Matt volunteered & has been coaching ever since :) (It's how you get suckered in...)

Good luck!

A disorganized coach is a nightmare! Ant's soccer coach was crazy disorganized and it drove me INSANE! I hope the weather is fab and you can catch some rays!

Wow, that is a bit unorganized. I have always seen the coach's wife pick up that part, seems that they just don't have the 'skills' to handle that stuff. Hope you get a fabulous farmer tan on Sat.

I'm on the board of my sons' little league and I'm having a hard time getting people to help out, even though they said they'd volunteer...

I personally am a stay at home mom and wish i could remain one just so that i can be involved with all of my kids activities when they go off to school.

It all depends on the camera for action picture taken, the speed is very important, stabilization is on more specially if you use one of those Kodak or Nikon Cameras with lens adapters for close ups.
