Tried little league and it was 60 page rulebook and forms and spending an hour sitting in car to play away games and parent drama (there's always two parents who can't stand each other, I stayed out of it and laughed at them). Parents trash talking other teams kids performance, BS like that. Rules-lawyer parents. Crying kids when they let the team down.

Organized sports is for parent's entertainment, makes parents smile. Pick up game at city park a block away from home is for kids, makes kids smile. Little league baseball diamond = lots of yelling. City park baseball diamond = lots of laughing.

Perhaps there's organized sports that doesn't suck, somewhere. Must be fun, for them.
