SCHEDULE

Satisfaction with the schedule pie chart

COMMENTS:

  • "Our child was 5 this season and played t ball. Games were way too late for her and practices seemed a bit long especially when she had school the next day. Our practices were at 6 and games started at 7. Many games went till 8–just too late for little people. It would be great to have practices at 6, games at 6:30 and done no later than 7:30 for the little guys"
  • "Majors team - there weren’t regular practices. Maybe one every two weeks. I would appreciate a regular practice schedule."
  • "Practices should be set up by NWLL for the teams and not left to the coaches to do. That isn't fair to the coaches or the kids."
