[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m fine with the 9/10 am games. It’s the 1 pm games that totally kill my weekends. [/quote]

I agree with this. We had soccer at 10am this morning and to me that's ideal because it gets us moving in the morning but is not so early that we can't all get a little extra rest. It will be over by 11am and then we have the rest of the day to either do something fun or chill out and rest.

To be honest, having activities on the weekends is something we try to limit as much as we can. With soccer it's unavoidable, but for everything else (dance, swim, scouts, etc.) we really aim for things that happen during the week. I work part time so I can do things like sign kids up for a 4pm class, or help lead a Tuesday night Girl Scouts. It frees up our weekends which allows us more relaxation time, plus we can get out of town when we want. Soccer is the one exception right now but to be honest, and I don't think it's going to last more than another year or so because the kids like it but don't love it -- it's mostly social for them.[/quote]

Don’t have them do travel.

My kid had a 10am, but they are required to be at the field an hour early (9am) and the field was 45 min away.

So for that 10am we had to leave at the very latest 8:15am. Games are 90 minutes. Drove back home and we have been “out for the game” from 8:15am-12:30pm.  That’s just one kid.

For one game, a 4-hour period is gone.[/quote]
