[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three here.

They can do after school activities. The elementary kids do one at a time because their school activities cost money. The middle schooler can do as many as fits in the schedule, because his day gets out early (perfect timing for elementary pick up if he stays for an activity) and middle school activities are free.

Each of them gets one activity/sport per season. There is always an overlap between seasons though, so there are a couple of weeks of craziness at that point. We solved this by taking winter off from sports. No winter season does wonders for down time and takes care of overlapping seasons.

My kids split between sports and theater. Sports are rec level only; theater is a mix of youth and community theater.

All do religious education and scouts.

Also, you need to decide what is a non negotiable event schedule wise. For our family, regular church attendance is a must, so that rules out travel teams.  We are Catholic so we have many different Mass time options, so if an activity is likely to overlap with all of the many available times over several or most weekends, then we won't do that activity.
