[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know families where situations dictate that this effectively is what happens. Mom is the team manager on Larlo's team and Dad coaches Larla's team so 95% of the time they go with the kid whose team they volunteer for. But on those 5% where there's no overlap they are always super grateful to be able to switch and show up for the other kid.

I also know people who divide the "task" by dropping off kids as young as 6 or 7 to be babysat by team personnel (who are, at this age, rec coach volunteers) while they go do something like golf. As a team mom, that was fun.[/quote]

Are the 7 year olds on the team practicing or are they a sibling that they want the personnel to babysit.

The former situation is how all of the teams I coach operate.  The parents aren’t off golfing, but most run some errands and then come back in 90 minutes.  Many kids come in a carpool as well, so maybe that parent goes somewhere to do work calls or whatever.

What am I missing…isn’t that how things mostly work?[/quote]
