Malik could have played t-ball this summer through the rec. league here in Pella. Honestly, weekly practices and games for the first half of the summer did not sound appealing to us at all. Thankfully, it didn't really appeal to the Punts or Gaulkes either. Instead, we formed our own team.
The older kids and dads had several practices throughout the summer at one of the local parks. They did different drills and played 'games', kids against dads. The moms and younger kids played at the park and then we all enjoyed snacks together.
It was a great fit for us this summer. When we would ask Malik what his favorite part was he usually replied, "Playing at the park and eating snacks." It just confirmed our decision to wait on organized sports for a while!
