My boys love sports, too, but we're very selective with what sports/leagues we allow them to play. Our lives are just too crazy to add more craziness to the mix. It's easier when they are in early elementary school and there are plenty of low-key options through the city and YMCA. Right now, they play flag football and that only meets for 2 hours on Saturday afternoons. In the winter, they will play basketball and that is one hour during the week and one hour on the weekend. And they play in the same place, so I don't have to be carting them to different places. I know it'll get harder once they are older and the leagues expect more ... but we'll get there when we get there, and make decisions then.
