How Do Great Falls Multi Sport Parents Do It?

I knew raising four boys that sports would be in the picture somehow. Was I expecting to have all four in a sport at one time? Absolutely not. 10 out of 10 do not recommend.

While I want my kids to try everything and find what works for them my biggest problem I run into is how expensive it is to be in all of these sports. There are registration fees participation fees and cant forget equipment. It adds up quickly!

Not just the monetary commitment but the time commitment as well! These sports want parents to volunteer to help out with other stuff too. Asking for volunteers for games and to bring snacks and concessions. While I am grateful for those who can volunteer, who has time for all of it? Multiply it by four!

Practices are all over town, requiring me to enlist help giving rides. I feel like I am being pulled in a million different directions.

I will complain but getting to see my kid out there on the field doing their absolute best to compete and be a team player just melts my heart.

Other multi-sport parents I salute you and cannot commend enough what parents do every single day. These Great Falls kids are so lucky to have so many programs they can be a part of!
