This crosses the boundaries of being a parent and being a coach so I'm posting it here...I'm really testing the waters before I propose this to DW as I think I'm going to get a frying pan to the face when I try and make the case for this...
Let me lay this out...
My 12U team is playing the ASA 12B Nationals in York, PA July 22-26th
Here's the wild card
DD2 was just asked to pitch for another team at the USSSA 12B in Hartford, CT July 27th - August 1st. Pool play starts the 28th.
DD1 is playing 14U Dawg Daze in Sandusky, OH July 31st-Aug 2nd.
The original plan - already DW approved - was to take the whole family to York, PA play (and hopefully win!) the 12B Nationals then drive up the road to go to Hershey Park on the 27th & 28th.
Drive home on the 28th.
Unpack\repack on the 29th and drive to Sandusky for DD1's last tourney of the year.
Now...if we add in the wild card of the USSSA Nationals...the itinerary looks like this:
Take 2 cars to York, PA play (and hopefully win!) the 12B Nationals then drive up the road (whole family) to go to Hershey Park on the 27th. Leave Hershey, PA in 2nd car with DD2 and drive 4.5 hours northeast to Hartford to play USSSA tourney that start s on the 28th. DW and DD1 & DD3 drive home.
July 29th: DW, DD1 and DD3 leave drive to Sandusky.
USSSA double elimination bracket play is 7/30 and 7/31. I would expect we would be eliminated by 7/31.
Jump in the car and drive from Hartford to Sandusky, OH (about 10 hours) to catch DD1's games on 8/1 and 8/2.
Is this feasible? Is this too much? Will I end up in the ER if I propose this?
I'd love to hear your thoughts...CP
