Too much for a 5 year old?

[CubFanJack]

Our son is going to be in little league T-ball for the second year this summer. He has on average 3 games a week for ten weeks. My wife thinks this is too much for a five year old. What has been your experience with little league baseball schedules or other sports as well?

Three games a week does sound like a bit much for a five year old, but if he did it last year and enjoyed it then he should have fun again this year too. How often do they have practice?

My friend's 5 year old is also in T-ball. He has 2 games a week and 1 day of practice. I am not sure for how many weeks. It does seem to be a bit much, but I know this little boy loves it.

Wow- 3 games a week is a lot! My daughter played softball for years and she does not have 3 games a week and she is 13.
Do they have practices too? I also think 10 weeks is a long time to have games.

Since when did tball not just be only on the weekends? WOW. A ton has changed since I was a kid! 3 in a week is just about nutty.
