What did I get myself into?

We signed Jada up for Bonnet Ball last week. They have a rule that if the player is not 5 by Jan. 1st of that year, that the parent must be willing to coach or assist. So, I reluctantly agreed to assist. We went last night to team announcements so that she could meet her coach and teammates. The coach announced that they will be practicing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights for 1 hour. She then said that they will be practicing every day the week before their first game. . . "to get them good and ready". AND she may be adding a practice in here or there, but she didn't want to burn them out while their young. . . .UH. . . .HELLO?!? I know my mouth was hitting the floor, but as I looked around at the other parents, I noticed that I was pretty much the only one that was freaking out. Am I over reacting? I was seriously thinking that I would tell the coach afterwards that this wasn't what we were expecting. . and that maybe we will wait until she is a little older(hoping they would understand and return my $65). . and then she announced that the color of their team shirts are PINK!!! Jada starts jumping up and down. . of course. Why wouldn't she? That's her favorite color. Awesome. So how could I back out now? I guess we'll have to work it out. It shouldn't be too hard to fit it in between preschool, dance, and soccer, right? Ughh.

Oh my!!! Yeah I'd feel the same way! That does seem like a lot for a 5 year old. I bet she'll have so much fun though! Good luck! I think I'll wait until Carter is 6!!!
