How much stuff people carry

[starsnuffer]

That coach has at least 9 pack mules. Never understood the need for carts for coaches. Now parents with a younger kid/food/pop up, chairs, ect, I can understand.

I quit carrying the nets, when I got the TCB balls. Thinking back, to when my kids played, I had to carry team bats and all of the helmets. Geez. Yes, to the first aid kit.

I will fess up....Two wagons for our team. Three Bow Nets, two bucket of balls, One bucket of golf ball size wiffel balls and TCB balls. First aid kit, Spike cleaner, Team ball bag with two sets of caters gear and other misc items, Two tees, my back pack with typical items. Yes we have a team trailer. We keep extra helmets, players bags, coolers, heaters, canopy tents etc. Parents don't need to bring anything but chairs. Reason being for all the equipment, we don't run a muck between games. Girls want to work on hitting. I also have two plates we use for hitting for visual reps on outside and inside pitches.

Medicpelle, if you are going to do it, you might as well go all out. Does your team have practice uniforms?

 

[medicpelle]

Not uniforms but practice shirts

Do you know what most high school coaches carry? Not much. Maybe a scorebook and water. Crazy, isn't it?

Carrying myself is plenty.

I'm guessing because in TB you have so many games in a day.

I am in the take too much camp but it does help keep up with the girls and to be able to do different hitting drills for warm up. I say tournament days are as good as any day to work on things.

There is a team around here that has what looks like a nascar pit box. It's pretty sweet with a complete sound system and storage for all the gadgets. Bright colored too. Don't remember the team name.

I like the trailer. Pretty sweet.

DD’s school coaches do not carry a dang thing.

They walk out to the field from the school or the bus and all the players grab something. Home games they all have responsibilities of setting and tearing down the field.

It is a different thing someone is pulling up to the parking lot at some random time and bringing the equipment to the field or putting it away when the coach gets tied up.
