It seems like in many schools there is a never ending sports season. There is a summer basketball league as well as the winter season. Softball practice starts in Jan. Then you have the summer season of games. The the school season starts in Aug. Baseball starts just as early. There is volleyball practice for most of the summer and games in the winter. That doesn't include track in the Spring which thankfully does seem to have a short season. Football practice is most of the summer if not a summer league, then on to the football season in the fall. All of these sports don't even encompass all of the extra activities kids do like music, newspaper, drama and so on. It is hard to tell a kid who really wants to do these things to slow down so many parents feel compelled to become a shuttle service. From experience, I think it is hard to handle more than one sport at a time on the children and the parents. Some of the kids we know are on two softball teams in the same season. Where do people find the time? I read a pretty good article on this subject. Click on the title if you are interested.
