This will also be the first year Caleb plays t-ball. I'm half tempted to sign up as a coach, but I'm still mulling it over.

EDIT: Regarding fall ball being laid back, many coaches don't see it that way. Blake's coach last year outright told another coach that he sucked as a coach because the other coach refused to moved players to different positions. He put them in one spot and that's where they played the whole season.
Sign up as coach, it's very rewarding. I helped last year and this year signed up to help again. Before the season started this year the other coach got ahold of me and asked if I wanted to take the head coach job and I declined because I was worried about not knowing how to work with the pitchers. That was a mistake because he was the head coach but missed a good bit so I was running it most of the time anyhow, but he made all the calls (such as never taking the girls for ice cream after games, who started where, etc.). Next year I'm telling them I want to head coach my daughter's team if at all possible.
