What kind of errands....
| Wed, 08-31-2005 - 1:41pm |
Do you run on a daily basis? Weekly basis? Monthly basis?
I've often heard people say that they need a lot of time during the week to run errands and that those errands would otherwise take up their evenings and weekends if they had to WOH ft. It made me curious because I just don't seem to have many errands to run at all. Are we just lazy :-)?

He wasn't being asked to tryout. He was being asked to play on the competitive team. It wasn't elite baseball, which requires individual tryouts. Competitive teams here are the level between recreational and elite.
We don't find recreational baseball unappealing, or haven't yet, anyway. My son is in his 8th season of play.
There is a skills evaluation for kids on the competitive teams. But any kid can sign up for a team, and they are evaluated and given a score, and each team is then "balanced" in terms of skill with the idea being that the leagues will have teams of pretty near equal ability, with the expectation that no one team will naturally dominate the league but will experience both wins and losses over the course of the season. My kid did go to evaluations and was given a score. He just decided not to play (and the teams are being picked now for spring play, so there is a lot of practice and stuff).
Individual and team stats are kept and league standings are kept. There's an award banquet at the end of the season where trophies for first place teams in each age division are passed out and kids on each team get awards for stuff like best batting average, most valuable player, most improved player and I don't know what all else. All the league play is with teams within a thirty mile radius of here.
Elite teams are a whole 'nother division -- kids try out for individual teams and it is strictly the coach's decision whether the kid makes the cut and what position the kids will play. There is no attempt to balance teams. Play takes place, as far as I know, all over the state and even a few out of state tournaments. I think elite baseball starts at nine. I know elite basketball does.
