Back in my day we had unorganized sports. On Saturday, we got up, had breakfast and watched cartoons until about 10am when they went off. Nope, we did not have 24 hour cartoons. Then we got dressed and went outside and played with our friends all day. Mom said be back by dinner and we rode bikes, we played ball, we built forts, we played with dolls, we dug in the dirt, we played on our swing sets. Parents did not get us ready for soccer, volleyball, baseball, football etc. We were not organized unless all our friends got together and we decided on teams. It was a more innocent time where we knew our neighbors and they watched out for us. Now we watch out for them and hide behind our walls and fences. I am glad that my daughter is doing organized sports but I wish she could have some of that unorganized too.
