I don’t get the dislike of Daddy Ball. For my older kids that all they knew was daddy ball. I coached all their travel team’s softball, track, basketball, and for the boy’s travel football team (yes in Texas we had tackle travel football in the spring)
The memories-- the fun times.
Heck the arguments; the days I taught maybe its time for me to stop coaching my kids. MAN those were great times-- I wouldn’t let another man or woman have that time with my child for the world.
My 29 year old was home and she didn’t realize I was in the house. One of her old high school friends dropped by. The young lady asked how coach was doing (it’s awesome to be referred to as coach after all these years.) My daughter said where he always is --- on some field somewhere with a bunch of the kids no one thinks is any good. Then the young lady replied yea your Dad is good at finding a diamond in the rough—look at me.
That young lady played all four years at a D1. My eyes started to water…..getting old.
Now that my wife and I have started over. With my babies I am enjoying coaching daddy ball even more. I understand how precious time is and I know no one has a better track record than me or has stronger interest in their success than me.
Top that off with its just fun……a lot of fun.
For all you Daddy and Mommy ran tournament teams/clubs…..Continue to do what you do!!! And take allot of pictures because one day your grand kids will not believe you when you tell them Mommy jacked “so and so” for three home runs in a game!!!!!!
So, see you non daddy/mommy ball teams on field …… oh yea I talk allot of smack!!! So, don’t lose to my GIRLS!!!! HA HA HA
