[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unearthing a zombie thread here . . . tossing some zombie powder this morning I guess . . .  but . . . we just got the practice schedule for freshman sports (FRESHMAN not even JV!) for school year 2023 and it is not only now a six day a week commitment-- it's now starting AUGUST 1. Hope you didn't take vacation days lol.

Practices are every day, starting AUGUST 1 . . . Practices are mandatory, they are at school, and on no set schedule. Ok, I can cope, right, they're at the same time everyday, right? RIGHT??

Nope. This is the schedule of the damned. If a freshman could drive, MAYBE it would make sense. 
. . . Timewise, practices are literally all over the map-- sometimes they're 11am, sometimes 2pm, oh now it's 2:30pm, sometimes 7:30am, sometimes 7:15pm? 7:15pm one night 8:30am the next day, whee!

We absolutely cannot hire a nanny to get our kid to practice on such an all-over-the-place bananas schedule, we work, and the kid cannot drive, this is nuts.

I guess only Christians are playing apparently, too, because every single Friday and Saturday night is a practice!

If the kid drops below a 3.3 in any subject they're benched. If they miss a practice they're benched. 
I just can't see this as at all sustainable.  I guess if you lived next door to the school it would be fine but we are 6 miles from school. . .   Absolute madness. I'm honestly looking at youth clubs outside of school, something I never ever thought I would do. [/quote]

Does your child have any friends with whom you can arrange a carpool?

Preseason August practices are pretty standard and always have been. It is annoying to drive them at random times, but with a group of four you should only be on the hook a couple times a week for those couple of weeks. Not so bad.[/quote]
