She has been warming up to the skills part of it and has done pretty well with paying attention during the games. She is even startign t osee the value and importance of practice. Even though they don't keep score, she says they win every game 158497@blogcritics.org Thu, 26 May 2005 09:57:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/05/25/101550.php#comment-158493 I've been pretty lucky so far with my daughter's t-ball and soccer leagues. Both are specifically designed to be instructional, noncompetitive leagues, which is how it should be for 5-7 year-olds. So far, the parents have been pretty good about staying relaxed, but one mother shouted at her son the other night for "fooling around" while chasing down a fly ball. The kid is FIVE. God forbid he have fun. 158493@blogcritics.org Thu, 26 May 2005 09:52:40 EDT
